1 Coríntios 3

¹ But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as carnal men, as infants in Christ.

² I gave you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, even now you are not ready,

³ for you are still carnal. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and are you not walking like mere men?

⁴ For when one says, »I am of Paul,« and another, »I am of Apollos,« are you not mere men?

⁵ What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord assigned to each one.

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.

⁷ So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

⁸ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

⁹ For we are God's fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

¹¹ For no other foundation can any one lay than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹² Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

¹³ each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.

¹⁴ If any man's work which he has built on it survives, he will receive a reward.

¹⁵ If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

¹⁷ If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become a fool so that he may become wise.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, »He catches the wise in their own craftiness«;

²⁰ and again, »The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,that they are futile.«

²¹ So then let no one boast of men. 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 belong to you,

²³ and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
