3:1 But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ. 3:2 I fed you with milk, not solid food;for you were not ready for it;and even yet you are not ready, 3:3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men? 3:4 For when one says, 'I belong to Paul,' and another, 'I belong to Apol'los,' are you not merely men? 3:5 What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 3:6 I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth. 3:7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 3:8 He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor. 3:9 For we are God's fellow workers;you are God's field, God's building. 3:10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. 3:11 For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 3:12 Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw -- 3:13 each man's work will become manifest;for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 3:14 If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 3:15 If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. 3:16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 3:17 If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are. 3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, 'He catches the wise in their craftiness,' 3:20 and again, 'The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.' 3:21 So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, 3:22 whether Paul or Apol'los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; 3:23 and you are Christ's;and Christ is God's.
