1 Corinthians 3:2-17

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.
