| 1Cr 3:1 | But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ. |
| 1Cr 3:2 | I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready, |
| 1Cr 3:3 | for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men? |
| 1Cr 3:4 | For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men? |
| 1Cr 3:5 | What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. |
| 1Cr 3:6 | I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth. |
| 1Cr 3:7 | So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. |
| 1Cr 3:8 | He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor. |
| 1Cr 3:9 | For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. |
| 1Cr 3:10 | According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. |
| 1Cr 3:11 | For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
| 1Cr 3:12 | Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw-- |
| 1Cr 3:13 | each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. |
| 1Cr 3:14 | If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. |
| 1Cr 3:15 | If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. |
| 1Cr 3:16 | Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? |
| 1Cr 3:17 | If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are. |
| 1Cr 3:18 | Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. |
| 1Cr 3:19 | For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," |
| 1Cr 3:20 | and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." |
| 1Cr 3:21 | So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, |
| 1Cr 3:22 | whether Paul or Apol'los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; |
| 1Cr 3:23 | and you are Christ's; and Christ is God's. |
