1 Corinzi 3
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
3 Io, fratelli, sinora non ho potuto parlare a voi come a uomini spirituali, ma come ad esseri carnali, come a neonati in Cristo. 2 Vi ho dato da bere latte, non un nutrimento solido, perché non ne eravate capaci. E neanche ora lo siete; 3 perché siete ancora carnali: dal momento che c'è tra voi invidia e discordia, non siete forse carnali e non vi comportate in maniera tutta umana?
4 Quando uno dice: «Io sono di Paolo», e un altro: «Io sono di Apollo», non vi dimostrate semplicemente uomini?
La vera funzione dei predicatori
5 Ma che cosa è mai Apollo? Cosa è Paolo? Ministri attraverso i quali siete venuti alla fede e ciascuno secondo che il Signore gli ha concesso. 6 Io ho piantato, Apollo ha irrigato, ma è Dio che ha fatto crescere. 7 Ora né chi pianta, né chi irrìga è qualche cosa, ma Dio che fa crescere. 8 Non c'è differenza tra chi pianta e chi irrìga, ma ciascuno riceverà la sua mercede secondo il proprio lavoro. 9 Siamo infatti collaboratori di Dio, e voi siete il campo di Dio, l'edificio di Dio.
10 Secondo la grazia di Dio che mi è stata data, come un sapiente architetto io ho posto il fondamento; un altro poi vi costruisce sopra. Ma ciascuno stia attento come costruisce. 11 Infatti nessuno può porre un fondamento diverso da quello che gia vi si trova, che è Gesù Cristo. 12 E se, sopra questo fondamento, si costruisce con oro, argento, pietre preziose, legno, fieno, paglia, 13 l'opera di ciascuno sarà ben visibile: la farà conoscere quel giorno che si manifesterà col fuoco, e il fuoco proverà la qualità dell'opera di ciascuno. 14 Se l'opera che uno costruì sul fondamento resisterà, costui ne riceverà una ricompensa; 15 ma se l'opera finirà bruciata, sarà punito: tuttavia egli si salverà, però come attraverso il fuoco. 16 Non sapete che siete tempio di Dio e che lo Spirito di Dio abita in voi? 17 Se uno distrugge il tempio di Dio, Dio distruggerà lui. Perché santo è il tempio di Dio, che siete voi.
18 Nessuno si illuda. Se qualcuno tra voi si crede un sapiente in questo mondo, si faccia stolto per diventare sapiente; 19 perché la sapienza di questo mondo è stoltezza davanti a Dio. Sta scritto infatti:
Egli prende i sapienti per mezzo della loro astuzia.
20 E ancora:
Il Signore sa che i disegni dei sapienti sono vani.
21 Quindi nessuno ponga la sua gloria negli uomini, perché tutto è vostro: 22 Paolo, Apollo, Cefa, il mondo, la vita, la morte, il presente, il futuro: tutto è vostro! 23 Ma voi siete di Cristo e Cristo è di Dio.

خَادِمَانِ للهِ
3 غَيْرَ أنِّي، أيُّهَا الإخْوَةُ، لَمْ أكُنْ قَادِرًا عَلَى أنْ أُخَاطِبَكُمْ كَأُنَاسٍ رُوحِيِّينَ، بَلِ اضطُرَرْتُ إلَى أنْ أُخَاطِبَكُمْ كَأُنَاسٍ دُنيَوِيِّينَ، كَأطْفَالٍ فِي المَسِيحِ. 2 فَسَقَيتُكُمْ حَلِيبًا، لَا طَعَامًا حَقِيقِيًّا. إذْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا قَادِرِينَ بَعْدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، بَلْ أنْتُمْ غَيْرُ قَادِرِينَ عَلَيْهِ الآنَ. 3 لِأنَّكُمْ مَا تَزَالُونَ دُنيَوِيِّينَ. فَحِينَ يُوجَدُ حَسَدٌ وَنِزَاعٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، أفَلَا تَكُونُونَ دُنيَوِيِّينَ سَالِكِينَ كَمَا يَسْلُكُ أهْلُ العَالَمِ؟ 4 فَحِينَ يَقُولُ أحَدُكُمْ: «أنَا أتْبَعُ بُولُسَ،» وَيَقُولُ آخَرُ: «أنَا أتْبَعُ أبُلُّوسَ،» أفَلَا تَكُونُونَ دُنيَوِيِّينَ؟
5 فَمَنْ هُوَ أبُلُّوسُ، وَمَنْ هُوَ بُولُسُ؟ مَا نَحْنُ إلَّا خَادِمَانِ آمَنتُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمَا. عَمِلَ كُلٌّ مِنَّا عَمَلَهُ كَمَا حَدَّدَهُ لَهُ الرَّبُّ. 6 فَزَرَعتُ أنَا البِذرَةَ، وَأبُلُّوسُ سَقَاهَا، لَكِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي نَمَّاهَا. 7 فَمَا لِزَارِعِ البِذرَةِ أهَمِّيَّةٌ، وَلَا لِسَاقِيهَا، بَلْ للهِ الَّذِي يُنَمِّي. 8 لِلزَّارِعِ وَالسَّاقِي هَدَفٌ وَاحِدٌ. وَسَيَنَالُ كُلٌّ مِنهُمَا مُكَافَأتَهُ حَسَبَ ثَمَرِ عَمَلِهِ.
9 فَنَحْنُ عَامِلَانِ وَشَرِيكَانِ فِي خِدْمَةِ اللهِ، وَأنْتُمْ حَقلُ اللهِ وَبِنَاؤُهُ. 10 وَكَبَانٍ حَكِيمٍ، وَضَعتُ الأسَاسَ حَسَبَ المَوهِبَةِ الَّتِي أعطَانِي إيَّاهَا اللهُ. غَيْرَ أنَّ هُنَاكَ أشخَاصًا آخَرِينَ يَبْنُونَ عَلَى هَذَا الأسَاسِ. فَلْيَنْتَبِهْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. 11 إذْ لَا يَقْدِرُ أحَدٌ أنْ يَضَعَ أسَاسًا آخَرَ غَيْرَ ذَاكَ الَّذِي وُضِعَ أصلًا، أيْ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحَ. 12 فَإنْ كَانَ أحَدٌ يَبْنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ الأسَاسِ مُسْتَخْدِمًا ذَهَبًا أوْ فِضَّةً أوْ حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً أوْ خَشَبًا أوْ تِبنًا أوْ قَشًّا، 13 فَلَا بُدَّ أنْ يَظْهَرَ عَمَلُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، لِأنَّ يَوْمَ مَجِيءِ المَسِيحِ سَيُظهِرُهُ. فَسَيَظْهَرُ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمُ بِالنَّارِ، وَسَتُبَيِّنُ النَّارُ قِيمَةَ عَمَلِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ. 14 فَإذَا صَمَدَ مَا بَنَاهُ الإنْسَانُ، يُكَافَأُ. 15 وَإذَا احتَرَقَ عَمَلُهُ، يَخْسَرُ. أمَّا هُوَ نَفْسُهُ فَسَيَخْلُصُ، لَكِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ كَمَنْ هَرَبَ مِنْ نَارٍ!
16 ألَا تَعْلَمُونَ أنَّكُمْ هَيكَلُ اللهِ، وَأنَّ رُوحَ اللهِ سَاكِنٌ فِيكُمْ؟ 17 فَإذَا خَرَّبَ أحَدُهُمْ هَيكَلَ اللهِ، سَيُخَرِّبُهُ اللهُ، لِأنَّ هَيكَلَ اللهِ مُقَدَّسٌ، وَهُوَ أنْتُمْ. 18 فَلَا تَخْدَعُوا أنْفُسَكُمْ. إنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ يَظُنُّ أنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ حَسَبَ مَقَايِيسِ هَذَا العَالَمِ، فَلْيَصِرْ «أحمَقَ» لِكَي يَكُونَ حَكِيمًا حَقًّا! 19 فَحِكمَةُ هَذَا العَالَمِ حَمَاقَةٌ فِي نَظَرِ اللهِ. يَقُولُ الكِتَابُ:
«يَصطَادُ اللهُ الحُكَمَاءَ بِذَكَائِهِمْ.»[a]
20 وَيَقُولُ أيْضًا:
«الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أنَّ أفكَارَ الحُكَمَاءِ بَاطِلَةٌ.»[b]
21 فَلَا يَنْبَغِي أنْ يَتَبَاهَى أحَدٌ بِبَشَرٍ، لِأنَّ كُلَّ الأشْيَاءِ هِيَ لَكُمْ: 22 بُولُسُ وَأبُلُّوسُ وَبُطرُسُ وَالعَالَمُ وَالحَيَاةُ وَالمَوْتُ، مَا فِي الحَاضِرِ وَمَا فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِ. كُلُّ الأشْيَاءِ هِيَ لَكُمْ. 23 وَأنْتُمْ لِلمَسِيحِ، وَالمَسِيحُ للهِ.

Sectarianism Is Carnal
3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to (A)babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with (B)milk and not with solid food; (C)for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
Watering, Working, Warning
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but (D)ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 (E)I planted, (F)Apollos watered, (G)but God gave the increase. 7 So then (H)neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, (I)and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For (J)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are (K)God’s building. 10 (L)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid (M)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than (N)that which is laid, (O)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day (P)will declare it, because (Q)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
16 (R)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone [b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Avoid Worldly Wisdom
18 (S)Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, (T)“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, (U)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore 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 things present or things to come—all are yours. 23 And (W)you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

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.
