⁹ For we are ^(A)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, ^(B)God's building.

^10 (C)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled^[a] master builder I laid a ^(D)foundation, and ^(E)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. ¹¹ For no one can lay a ^(F)foundation other ^(G)than that which is laid, ^(H)which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— ^13 (I)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^(J)by fire, and ^(K)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. ¹⁴ If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^(L)he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^(M)but only as through fire.

^16 (N)Do you not know that you^[b] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For ^(O)God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

^18 (P)Let no one deceive himself. ^(Q)If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. ¹⁹ For ^(R)the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, ^(S)“He catches the wise in their craftiness,” ²⁰ and again, ^(T)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ²¹ So ^(U)let no one boast in men. For ^(V)all things are yours, ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³ and ^(W)you are Christ's, and ^(X)Christ is God's.
