1COR C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16
3 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as spiritual people, but as {people of the flesh},[fn] as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. But even now you are {not}[fn] able, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For where there is jealousy and strife [[and divisions]][fn] among you, are you not of the flesh and walking according to human ways?
4 For when someone says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not {men}?[fn]
5 {What}[fn] then is Apollos? {What} is Paul? [[But]][fn] Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord has given. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 The one planting and the one watering are one, but each will receive their own reward according to their own labor. 9 For we are God's coworkers; you are God's field, God's building.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how they build upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on {the}[fn] foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, they will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, they will suffer loss, though they themselves will be saved, but only as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?[fn] 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 Let no one deceive themselves. If anyone among you thinks that they are wise in this age, let them become a fool so that they may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”[fn] 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”[fn]
21 So let no one boast in human beings. For all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
