1 Corinthians 3:5–15

⁵What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? ^aServants through whom you believed, even ^bas the Lord gave to each one.

^6aI planted, ^bApollos watered, but ^cGod was causing the growth.

⁷So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

⁸Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will ^areceive his own ¹reward according to his own labor.

⁹For we are God’s ^afellow workers; you are God’s ^1bfield, God’s ^cbuilding.

¹⁰According to ^athe grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder ^bI laid a foundation, and ^canother is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

¹¹For no one can lay a ^afoundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹²Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, ¹precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

^13aeach man’s work will become evident, for ^bthe day will indicate it because it is revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test ¹the quality of each man’s work.

¹⁴If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will ^areceive a reward.

¹⁵If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet ^aso as through fire.
