1 Corinthians 3

King James Version

• 1. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
• 2. 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.
• 3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
• 4. For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
• 5. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
• 6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
• 7. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
• 8. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
• 9. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
• 10. 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.
• 11. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
• 12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
• 13. 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.
• 14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
• 15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
• 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
• 17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
• 18. 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.
• 19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
• 20. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
• 21. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
• 22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
• 23. And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
