First corinthians 3:1-23 LSV
[1] And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ; [2] with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able, [3] for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men? [4] For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly? [5] Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave? [6] I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth; [7] so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God; [8] and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor, [9] for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building. [10] According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid a foundation, and another builds on [it], [11] for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; [12] and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— [13] the work will become visible of each, for the day will declare [it], because it is revealed in fire, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire will prove; [14] if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage; [15] if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire. [16] Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you? [17] If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are. [18] Let no one deceive himself; if anyone seems to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise, [19] for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”; [20] and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.” [21] So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours, [22] whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours, [23] and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.
