\s5
|

\c 3
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 1 And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as to fleshly people, as to babes in Christ.
|
||
\v 2 I fed you milk and not meat, for you were not ready for meat. And even now you are not ready.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 3 For you are still fleshly. For where jealousy and strife exist among you, are you not living according to the flesh, and are you not walking by human standards?
|
||
\v 4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another says, "I follow Apollos," are you not living as human beings?
|
||
\v 5 Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, to each of whom the Lord gave tasks.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
|
||
\v 7 So then, neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything. But it is God who gives the growth.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own wages according to his own labor.
|
||
\v 9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s garden, God’s building.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 10 According to the grace of God that was given to me as a skilled master builder, I laid a foundation and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
|
||
\v 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which has been laid, that is, Jesus Christ.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
|
||
\v 13 his work will be revealed, for the daylight will reveal it. For it will be revealed in fire; the fire will test the quality of what each one had done.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 14 If anything a person builds remains, he will receive a reward.
|
||
\v 15 But if anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss. But he himself will be saved, as though escaping through fire.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
|
||
\v 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and so are you.
|
||
\s5
|
||
\p
|
||
\v 18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a "fool" that he may become wise.
|
||
\v 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,
|
||
\q "He catches the wise in their craftiness."
|
||
\m
|
||
\v 20 And again,
|
||
\q "The Lord knows that the reasoning of the wise is futile."
|
||
\m
|
||
\s5
|
||
\v 21 So no more boasting about people! For all things are yours,
|
||
\v 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All things are yours,
|
||
\v 23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
