1 Corinthians

3

Background of Book
1 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as fleshly—as to infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for not yet were you able. In fact, now you are still not able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For where jealousy and strife are among you, are you not fleshly, and are walking according to man? 4 For when one might say, “I indeed am of Paul,” but another, “I of Apollos,” are you not fleshly? 5 Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord has given to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God kept it growing. 7 So neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but only God, the One giving growth. 8 Now the one planting and the one watering are one, and each will receive the own reward, according to the 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 having been given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, but another is building upon it. But let each one take heed how he builds upon it. 11 For no one is able to lay another foundation, besides the one being already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds upon the foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 the work of each will become manifest, for the day will disclose it, because it is revealed in fire, and the fire itself will prove the work of each, what sort it is. 14 If the work of anyone that he built up will remain, he will receive a reward. 15 If the work of anyone will be burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire. 16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are. 18 Let no one deceive himself: If anyone among you thinks himself to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written: “He is the One catching the wise in their craftiness.” 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore let no one boast 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 to come—all are yours, 23 and you of Christ, and Christ of God.
