1 Corinthians 3:5–15

⁵Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave. ⁶I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing it to grow. ⁷So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who is causing it to grow. ⁸Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

¹⁰According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon it. ¹¹For no one is able to lay another foundation than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹²Now if anyone builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, ¹³the work of each one will become evident. For the day will reveal it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the work of each one, of what sort it is. ¹⁴If anyone’s work that he has built upon it remains, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
