1 Corinthians 3:9–17

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.
