1 Corinthians 3
King James Version
3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Iskala-Qaybinta Waa Laga Digay
3 Anna, walaalayaalow, idiinlama aan hadli karin sida idinkoo ruuxa raaca, laakiin idinkoo jidhka raaca sida kuwo ilmo yaryar ah oo ku jira Masiix. 2 Waxaan idin siiyey caano ee idinma aan siin cunto, waayo, weli ma aydaan cuni karin, haatanna weli ma aad kartaan. 3 Maxaa yeelay, weli jidhkaad raacdaan, waayo, intii xaasidnimo iyo ilaaq dhexdiinna ku jiraan, miyaanaydin jidhka raacsanayn oo sida dadka miyaanaydin u soconayn? 4 Waayo, markii mid yidhaahdo, Anigu waxaan ka mid ahay kuwa Bawlos, mid kalena, Anna Abolloos, miyaanaydin dad ahayn? 5 Haddaba muxuu yahay Abolloos? Bawlosna muxuu yahay? Waxay yihiin midiidinyadii aad xaggooda ku rumaysateen, oo mid kasta sida Rabbigu u siiyey isaga. 6 Anigu waan beeray, Abolloosna wuu waraabiyey, laakiin Ilaah baa koriyey. 7 Taa aawadeed waxba ma aha kan beeraa, ama kan waraabiyaa, laakiin waa Ilaah kan koriyaa. 8 Kan beeraa iyo kan waraabiyaa waa isku mid, laakiin mid kastaa wuxuu heli doonaa abaalkiis siday hawshiisu ahayd. 9 Waxaannu nahay kuwa Ilaah la shaqeeya, idinkuna waxaad tihiin beerta Ilaah iyo Ilaah dhismihiisa.
Macallimiinta Mas'uuliyaddooda
10 Sida dhise xigmad leh waxaan aasaaskii ku dhigay nimcadii Ilaah i siiyey, oo mid kalena wuu ka dul dhisayaa. Laakiin mid kastaa ha ka fiirsado siduu uga dul dhisayo. 11 Waayo, ninna ma dhigi karo aasaas kale kan la dhigay mooyaane oo ah Ciise Masiix. 12 Laakiin nin hadduu aasaaska ku dul dhiso dahab, ama lacag, ama dhagaxyo qaali ah, ama qoryo, ama caws, ama bal, 13 nin kasta shuqulkiisa ayaa la muujin doonaa. Waayo, maalintu way caddayn doontaa, maxaa yeelay, dab baa lagu muujiyaa, waayo, nin kasta shuqulkiisa caynkuu yahay dabka ayaa tijaabin doona. 14 Nin uun haddii shuqulkiisuu ku dul dhisay hadho, abaal buu heli doonaa. 15 Nin uun haddii shuqulkiisu gubto, wuu khasaari doonaa, isaga qudhiisuse wuu badbaadi doonaa, laakiin sidii wax dab laga soo baxshay oo kaluu u badbaadi doonaa.
16 Miyaanaydin garanaynin inaad tihiin macbudkii Ilaah oo uu Ruuxa Ilaah idinku jiro? 17 Nin uuni hadduu macbudka Ilaah kharribo, isaga Ilaah baa kharribi doona, waayo, macbudkii Ilaah waa quduus, kaad idinku tihiin.
18 Ninna yuusan iskhiyaanayn. Haddii nin dhexdiinna joogaa uu u malaynayo inuu wakhtigan xigmad leeyahay, doqon ha noqdo si uu xigmad u yeesho. 19 Waayo, xigmadda dunidan doqonnimay la tahay Ilaah. Waayo, waxaa qoran, Isagu kuwa xigmadda leh ayuu khiyaanadooda ku qabtaa, 20 oo haddana, Rabbigu waa garanayaa tashiyada kuwa xigmadda leh inayan waxba tarin. 21 Taa aawadeed ninna yaanu dadka ku faanin. Waayo, wax walba idinkaa leh, 22 ha ahaadeen ama Bawlos, ama Abolloos, ama Keeyfas, ama dunida, ama nolosha, ama dhimashada, ama waxyaalaha haatan jooga, ama waxyaalaha iman doona, dhammaan idinkaa leh. 23 Idinkuna kuwa Masiix baad tihiin, Masiixuna waa kan Ilaah.
1 Corinthians 3
English Standard Version
Divisions in the Church
3 But I, brothers,[a] could not address you as (A)spiritual people, but as (B)people of the flesh, as (C)infants in Christ. 2 (D)I fed you with milk, not solid food, for (E)you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is (F)jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For (G)when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” (H)are you not being merely human?
5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? (I)Servants through whom you believed, (J)as the Lord assigned to each. 6 (K)I planted, (L)Apollos watered, (M)but God gave the growth. 7 So (N)neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each (O)will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are (P)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, (Q)God's building.
10 (R)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled[b] master builder I laid a (S)foundation, and (T)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a (U)foundation other (V)than that which is laid, (W)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 (X)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed (Y)by fire, and (Z)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, (AA)he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, (AB)but only as through fire.
16 (AC)Do you not know that you[c] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For (AD)God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 (AE)Let no one deceive himself. (AF)If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For (AG)the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, (AH)“He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, (AI)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 So (AJ)let no one boast in men. For (AK)all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and (AL)you are Christ's, and (AM)Christ is God's.
