1 Corinthians 3:2-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 I gave you (A)milk to drink, not solid food; for you (B)were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is (C)jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking [a](D)like mere men? 4 For when (E)one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere (F)men?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? (G)Servants through whom you believed, even (H)as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 6 (I)I planted, (J)Apollos watered, but (K)God was causing the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will (L)receive his own [b]reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s (M)fellow workers; you are God’s [c](N)field, God’s (O)building.
10 According to (P)the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder (Q)I laid a foundation, and (R)another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no man can lay a (S)foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, [d]precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 (T)each man’s work will become evident; for (U)the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test [e]the quality of each man’s work. 14 If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will (V)receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet (W)so as through fire.
16 (X)Do you not know that (Y)you are a [f]temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If any man destroys the [g]temple of God, God will destroy him, for the [h]temple of God is holy, and [i]that is what you are.

Young's Literal Translation
2 with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,
3 for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?
4 for when one may say, `I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, `I -- of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?
5 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;
7 so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;
8 and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,
9 for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.
10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],
11 for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;
12 and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --
13 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;
14 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;
15 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.
16 have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?
17 if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.
