1 Corinthians 3

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto ^abspiritual, but as unto ^accarnal, even as unto ^dbabes in Christ. ²I have fed you with ^emilk, and not with meat: ^ffor hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. ³For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you ^genvying, and ^ghstrife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? ⁴For ⁱwhile one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of ^jApollos; are ye not carnal?

⁵Who then is Paul, and who is ^jApollos, but ^kministers by whom ^lye believed, ^meven as the Lord gave to every man? ⁶ⁿI have planted, ^joApollos watered; ^pbut God gave the increase. ⁷So then ^qneither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. ⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: ^rand every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. ⁹For ^swe are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are ^tGod’s building. ^10uAccording to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, ^xI have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. ¹¹For ^yother foundation can no man lay than that is laid, ^zwhich is Jesus Christ. ¹²Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ^13aevery man’s work shall be made manifest: for ^bthe day ^cshall declare it, because ^dit shall be revealed ^eby fire; and ^ethe fire shall ^ftry every man’s work of what sort it is. ¹⁴If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, ^ahe shall receive a reward. ¹⁵If any man’s work shall be burnt, ^ghe shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as ^ehby fire. ¹⁶ⁱKnow ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that ^jthe Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ¹⁷If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. ^18kLet no man deceive himself. ^lIf any man among you seemeth to be wise in ^mthis world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. ¹⁹For ⁿthe wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ^oHe taketh the wise in their own ^pcraftiness. ²⁰And again, ^qThe Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. ²¹Therefore ^rlet no man glory ^sin men. For ^tall things are yours; ²²whether Paul, or ^uApollos, or ^uCephas, or the world, or life, or death, or ^xthings present, or things to come; all are yours; ²³and ^yye are Christ’s; and ^zChrist is God’s.
