1 Corinthians 3:1-23 NASB
[1] And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but only as fleshly, as to infants in Christ. [2] I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able, [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 ordinary people? [4] For when one person says, “I am with Paul,” and another, “I am with Apollos,” are you not ordinary people? [5] What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. [6] I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. [7] So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. [8] Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. [9] For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. [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 person must be careful how he builds on it. [11] For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, [13] each one’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 one’s work. [14] If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. [15] If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only so as through fire. [16] Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? [17] If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. [18] Take care that no one deceives himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. [19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written: “He is the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”; [20] and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.” [21] So then, no one is to be boasting in people. For all things belong to you, [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, [23] and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
