3:1
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.
3:2
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,
3:3
for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?
3:4
For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?
3:5
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.
3:6
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
3:7
So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
3:8
Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
3:9
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
3:10
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.
3:11
For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3:12
Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
3:13
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.
3:14
If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.
3:15
If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
3:16
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
3:17
If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
3:18
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.
3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness";
3:20
and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless."
3:21
So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,
3:22
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,
3:23
and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
