| The Book of 1st Corinthians 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:1 | And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings mere babes in Christ. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:2 | I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough: | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:3 | you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world? | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:4 | For when some one says, "I belong to Paul," and another says, "I belong to Apollos," is not this the way men of the world speak? | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:5 | What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:6 | I planted and Apollos watered; but it was God who was, all the time, giving the increase. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:7 | So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:8 | Now in aim and purpose the planter and the waterer are one; and yet each will receive his own special reward, answering to his own special work. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:9 | Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are *God's* field *God's* building. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:10 | In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I like a competent master-builder have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:11 | For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:12 | And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:13 | the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work the fire is the thing which will test it. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:14 | If any one's work the building which he has erected stands the test, he will be rewarded. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:15 | If any one's work is burnt up, he will suffer the loss of it; yet he will himself be rescued, but only, as it were, by passing through the fire. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:16 | Do you not know that you are God's Sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God has His home within you? | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:17 | If any one is marring the Sanctuary of God, him will God mar; for the Sanctuary of God is holy, which you all are. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:18 | Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become "foolish" so that he may be wise. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:19 | This world's wisdom is "foolishness" in God's sight; for it is written, "He snares the wise with their own cunning." | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:20 | And again, "The Lord takes knowledge of the reasonings of the wise how useless they are." | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:21 | Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers. | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:22 | For everything belongs to you be it Paul or Apollos or Peter, the world or life or death, things present or future everything belongs to you; | |||||||||||||||
| 1st Corinthians 3:23 | and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. | |||||||||||||||
