Chapter 3 | |
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. | |
| | I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were
not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. |
| | For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
For while one saith, I am
of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? | |
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos,
but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? | |
I have planted, Apollos watered;
but God gave the increase. | |
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. | |
| | Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man
shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. |
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. | |
| | According to the grace of God which is given unto
me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. |
For other foundation can no man
lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. | |
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; | |
| | Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall
declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. |
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. | |
If
any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. | |
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? | |
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. | |
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. | |
For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. | |
And
again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. | |
Therefore let no man glory in
men. For all things are your's; | |
| | Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; |
And ye are Christ's; and Christ is
God's. |
