1 Corinthians 3:12–23

12and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; 14if of any one the work doth remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive; 15if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

16 Have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you? 17if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.

18 Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise, 19for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, ‘Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;’ 20and again, ‘The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.’

21 So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours, 22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours, 23and ye are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
