1 Corinthiens 3
Louis Segond
3 Pour moi, frères, ce n'est pas comme à des hommes spirituels que j'ai pu vous parler, mais comme à des hommes charnels, comme à des enfants en Christ.
2 Je vous ai donné du lait, non de la nourriture solide, car vous ne pouviez pas la supporter; et vous ne le pouvez pas même à présent, parce que vous êtes encore charnels.
3 En effet, puisqu'il y a parmi vous de la jalousie et des disputes, n'êtes-vous pas charnels, et ne marchez-vous pas selon l'homme?
4 Quand l'un dit: Moi, je suis de Paul! et un autre: Moi, d'Apollos! n'êtes-vous pas des hommes?
5 Qu'est-ce donc qu'Apollos, et qu'est-ce que Paul? Des serviteurs, par le moyen desquels vous avez cru, selon que le Seigneur l'a donné à chacun.
6 J'ai planté, Apollos a arrosé, mais Dieu a fait croître,
7 en sorte que ce n'est pas celui qui plante qui est quelque chose, ni celui qui arrose, mais Dieu qui fait croître.
8 Celui qui plante et celui qui arrose sont égaux, et chacun recevra sa propre récompense selon son propre travail.
9 Car nous sommes ouvriers avec Dieu. Vous êtes le champ de Dieu, l'édifice de Dieu.
10 Selon la grâce de Dieu qui m'a été donnée, j'ai posé le fondement comme un sage architecte, et un autre bâtit dessus. Mais que chacun prenne garde à la manière dont il bâtit dessus.
11 Car personne ne peut poser un autre fondement que celui qui a été posé, savoir Jésus Christ.
12 Or, si quelqu'un bâtit sur ce fondement avec de l'or, de l'argent, des pierres précieuses, du bois, du foin, du chaume, l'oeuvre de chacun sera manifestée;
13 car le jour la fera connaître, parce qu'elle se révèlera dans le feu, et le feu éprouvera ce qu'est l'oeuvre de chacun.
14 Si l'oeuvre bâtie par quelqu'un sur le fondement subsiste, il recevra une récompense.
15 Si l'oeuvre de quelqu'un est consumée, il perdra sa récompense; pour lui, il sera sauvé, mais comme au travers du feu.
16 Ne savez-vous pas que vous êtes le temple de Dieu, et que l'Esprit de Dieu habite en vous?
17 Si quelqu'un détruit le temple de Dieu, Dieu le détruira; car le temple de Dieu est saint, et c'est ce que vous êtes.
18 Que nul ne s'abuse lui-même: si quelqu'un parmi vous pense être sage selon ce siècle, qu'il devienne fou, afin de devenir sage.
19 Car la sagesse de ce monde est une folie devant Dieu. Aussi est-il écrit: Il prend les sages dans leur ruse.
20 Et encore: Le Seigneur connaît les pensées des sages, Il sait qu'elles sont vaines.
21 Que personne donc ne mette sa gloire dans des hommes; car tout est à vous,
22 soit Paul, soit Apollos, soit Céphas, soit le monde, soit la vie, soit la mort, soit les choses présentes, soit les choses à venir.
23 Tout est à vous; et vous êtes à Christ, et Christ est à Dieu.
1 Corinthians 3
Common English Bible
Wisdom applied to divisions in the church
3 Brothers and sisters, I couldn’t talk to you like spiritual people but like unspiritual people, like babies in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink instead of solid food, because you weren’t up to it yet. 3 Now you are still not up to it because you are still unspiritual. When jealousy and fighting exist between you, aren’t you unspiritual and living by human standards? 4 When someone says, “I belong to Paul,” and someone else says, “I belong to Apollos,” aren’t you acting like people without the Spirit? 5 After all, what is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants who helped you to believe. Each one had a role given to them by the Lord: 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. 7 Because of this, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but the only one who is anything is God who makes it grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together, but each one will receive their own reward for their own labor. 9 We are God’s coworkers, and you are God’s field, God’s building.
10 I laid a foundation like a wise master builder according to God’s grace that was given to me, but someone else is building on top of it. Each person needs to pay attention to the way they build on it. 11 No one can lay any other foundation besides the one that is already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 So, whether someone builds on top of the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, or hay, 13 each one’s work will be clearly shown. The day will make it clear, because it will be revealed with fire—the fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If anyone’s work survives, they’ll get a reward. 15 But if anyone’s work goes up in flames, they’ll lose it. However, they themselves will be saved as if they had gone through a fire. 16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and God’s Spirit lives in you? 17 If someone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy, which is what you are.
18 Don’t fool yourself. If some of you think they are worldly-wise, then they should become foolish so that they can become wise. 19 This world’s wisdom is foolishness to God. As it’s written, He catches the wise in their cleverness.[a] 20 And also, The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are silly.[b] 21 So then, no one should brag about human beings. Everything belongs to you— 22 Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things in the present, things in the future—everything belongs to you, 23 but you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
1 Corinthians 3
King James Version
3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, 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 by fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
