Return to Index

Chapter 3

1


 

  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.  

 

 

-

2


 

  I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;  

 

 

-

3


 

  for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?  

 

 

-

4


 

  For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?  

 

 

-

5


 

  What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.  

 

 

-

6


 

  I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.  

 

 

-

7


 

  So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.  

 

 

-

9


 

  For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.  

 

 

-

10


 

  According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.  

 

 

-

11


 

  For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  

 

 

-

12


 

  But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;  

 

 

-

13


 

  each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.  

 

 

-

14


 

  If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, 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 through fire.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?  

 

 

-

17


 

  If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.  

 

 

-

19


 

  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:  

 

 

-

20


 

  and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;  

 

 

-

22


 

  whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;  

 

 

-

23


 

  and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
