1 Corinthians 3:8-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will ^(A)receive his own ^[a]reward according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are God’s ^(B)fellow workers; you are God’s ^[b](C)field, God’s ^(D)building.

¹⁰ According to ^(E)the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder ^(F)I laid a foundation, and ^(G)another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. ¹¹ For no man can lay a ^(H)foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, ^[c]precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ^13 (I)each man’s work will become evident; for ^(J)the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test ^[d]the quality of each man’s work. ¹⁴ If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will ^(K)receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet ^(L)so as through fire.

^16 (M)Do you not know that ^(N)you are a ^[e]temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If any man destroys the ^[f]temple of God, God will destroy him, for the ^[g]temple of God is holy, and ^[h]that is what you are.
