Mga Lingkod ng Diyos
3 Mga kapatid, hindi ko kayo makausap bilang mga taong nagtataglay ng Espiritu. Kailangang kausapin ko kayo bilang mga taong namumuhay pa ayon sa laman at mga sanggol pa sa pananampalataya kay Cristo. 2 Gatas(A) ang ibinigay ko sa inyo noon at hindi matigas na pagkain, sapagkat hindi ninyo kaya iyon. Subalit hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ninyo kaya, 3 sapagkat nananaig pa sa inyo ang laman. Ang inyong pag-iinggitan at pag-aaway-away ay palatandaan na makasanlibutan pa kayo at namumuhay ayon sa laman. 4 Kapag(B) sinasabi ng isa, “Ako'y kay Pablo,” at ng iba, “Ako'y kay Apolos,” hindi ba't palatandaan iyan na kayo'y namumuhay pa ayon sa laman?
5 Sino ba si Apolos at sino si Pablo? Kami'y mga lingkod lamang ng Diyos na kinasangkapan niya upang akayin kayo sa pananampalataya kay Cristo. Ginawa lamang ng bawat isa sa amin ang tungkuling ibinigay ng Panginoon. 6 Ako(C) ang nagtanim, si Apolos ang nagdilig, subalit ang Diyos ang nagpatubo at nagpalago. 7 Hindi ang nagtatanim o nagdidilig ang mahalaga kundi ang Diyos, sapagkat siya ang nagpapatubo at nagpapalago. 8 Ang nagtatanim at ang nagdidilig ay parehong manggagawa lamang, at bawat isa'y tatanggap ng gantimpala ayon sa kanyang pagsisikap. 9 Kami'y kapwa manggagawa ng Diyos at kayo ang kanyang bukirin.
Kayo rin ay gusali ng Diyos. 10 Ayon sa kagandahang-loob ng Diyos sa akin, inilagay ko ang pundasyon, tulad ng isang mahusay na tagapagtayo. Iba naman ang nagpapatuloy sa pagtatayo ng gusali. Ngunit dapat maging maingat ang bawat nagtatayo, 11 sapagkat wala nang ibang pundasyong maaaring ilagay maliban sa nailagay na, walang iba kundi si Jesu-Cristo. 12 May nagtatayo na gumagamit ng ginto, pilak, o mahahalagang bato; mayroon namang gumagamit ng kahoy, damo, o dayami. 13 Makikilala ang uri ng gawa ng bawat isa sa Araw ng Paghuhukom sapagkat mahahayag sa pamamagitan ng apoy kung anong uri ang ginawa ng bawat isa. 14 Kung ang itinayo sa ibabaw ng pundasyon ay hindi masunog, tatanggap ng gantimpala ang nagtayo noon. 15 Ngunit kung masunog naman, mawawalan siya ng gantimpala. Gayunman, maliligtas siya, kaya lang ay para siyang nagdaan sa apoy.
16 Hindi(D) ba ninyo alam na kayo'y templo ng Diyos at naninirahan sa inyo ang kanyang Espiritu? 17 Paparusahan ng Diyos ang sinumang magwasak ng templo niya. Sapagkat banal ang templo ng Diyos, at kayo ang templong iyan.
18 Huwag dayain ninuman ang kanyang sarili. Kung may nag-aakalang siya'y matalino ayon sa sanlibutang ito, aminin niyang siya'y mangmang upang maging tunay na marunong. 19 Sapagkat(E) ang karunungan ng sanlibutang ito ay kamangmangan sa paningin ng Diyos. Gaya ng nasusulat, “Ginagamit niya ang katusuhan ng mga marurunong para mabitag sila.” 20 Gayundin,(F) “Batid ng Panginoon na ang iniisip ng marurunong ay walang kabuluhan.” 21 Kaya't huwag ipagmalaki ninuman na siya'y tagasunod ng sinuman, sapagkat ang lahat ay para sa inyo: 22 si Pablo, si Apolos, at si Pedro, ang sanlibutang ito, ang buhay, ang kamatayan, ang kasalukuyan, at ang hinaharap; lahat ng ito'y para sa inyo. 23 At kayo'y para kay Cristo, at si Cristo nama'y para sa Diyos.
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
New International Version
The Church and Its Leaders
3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit(A) but as people who are still worldly(B)—mere infants(C) in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food,(D) for you were not yet ready for it.(E) Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling(F) among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,”(G) are you not mere human beings?
5 What, after all, is Apollos?(H) And what is Paul? Only servants,(I) through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed,(J) Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.(K) 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service;(L) you are God’s field,(M) God’s building.(N)
10 By the grace God has given me,(O) I laid a foundation(P) as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.(Q) 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is,(R) because the Day(S) will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.(T) 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.(U) 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.(V)
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple(W) and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?(X) 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise(Y) by the standards of this age,(Z) you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness(AA) in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a];(AB) 20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”[b](AC) 21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders!(AD) All things are yours,(AE) 22 whether Paul or Apollos(AF) or Cephas[c](AG) or the world or life or death or the present or the future(AH)—all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ,(AI) and Christ is of God.
