1 Corinthians 3:5–15

⁵The ministers of him whom you have believed: and to every one as the Lord hath given.

⁶I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase.

⁷Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.

⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.

⁹For we are God’s coadjutors. You are God’s husbandry: you are God’s building.

¹⁰According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

¹¹For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus.

¹²Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:

¹³Every man’s work shall be manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire. And the fire shall try every man’s work, of what sort it is.

¹⁴If any man’s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

¹⁵If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
