Foundations
for Living |
|
|
 |
1 Corinthians 3:1
|
|
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to
spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:2
|
|
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for
you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:3
|
|
for you are still fleshly. For since there is
jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like
mere men? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:4
|
|
For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another,
"I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:5
|
|
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants
through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:6
|
|
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing
the growth. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:7
|
|
So then neither the one who plants nor the one
who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:8
|
|
Now he who plants and he who waters are one;
but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:9
|
|
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's
field, God's building. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:10
|
|
According to the grace of God which was given
to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building
on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:11
|
|
For no man can lay a foundation other than the
one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:12
|
|
Now if any man builds on the foundation with
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:13
|
|
each man's work will become evident; for the
day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will
test the quality of each man's work. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:14
|
|
If any man's work which he has built on it remains,
he will receive a reward. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:15
|
|
If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer
loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:16
|
|
Do you not know that you are a temple of God
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:17
|
|
If any man destroys the temple of God, God will
destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:18
|
|
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among
you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may
become wise. |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:19
|
|
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness
before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:20
|
|
and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of
the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:21
|
|
So then let no one boast in men. For all things
belong to you, |
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:22
|
|
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world
or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,
|
|
|
|
1 Corinthians 3:23
|
|
and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs
to God. |
