1 Corinthians 3
Revised Geneva Translation
3 And I could not speak to you, brothers, as to spiritual men, but as to carnal, as to infants in Christ.
2 I gave you milk to drink, and not solid food. For you were not yet able to bear it, nor are you able even now.
3 For you are still fleshly, since there is among you envying and strife and divisions. Are you not still carnal, and walking as man?
4 For when one says, ‘I am Paul’s’, and another, ‘I am Apollos’s’, are you not carnal?
5 Who is Paul then? And who is Apollos, but the ministers, by whom you believed, and as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
7 So then, neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters. But God gives the increase.
8 And he who plants, and he who waters, are one. And everyone shall receive his wages, according to his labor.
9 For we together are God’s laborers. You are God’s fellow workers, and God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, as a skillful master builder, I have laid the foundation. And another builds on that. But, let everyone take heed how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid; which is Jesus Christ.
12 And if anyone builds gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble upon this foundation,
13 everyone’s work shall be made apparent. For the Day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by the fire. And the fire shall test everyone’s work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone’s work that he has built upon abides, he shall receive wages.
15 If anyone’s work burns, he shall suffer loss. But he himself shall be saved, although still, as it were, by fire.
16 Do you not know that you are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone destroys the Temple of God, God shall destroy him. For the Temple of God is holy, which you are.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him be a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their own craftiness’.
20 And again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are useless’.
21 Therefore, let no one boast in man. For all things are yours,
22 whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death - whether things present, or things to come - all are yours,
23 and you Christ’s, and Christ 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.

Despre imaturitate
3 Eu, fraţilor, nu v-am putut vorbi ca unor oameni duhovniceşti, ci ca unor oameni lumeşti, ca unor copilaşi în Cristos. 2 V-am hrănit cu lapte, nu cu hrană tare, pentru că încă nu o puteaţi mânca. Şi nici chiar acum nu puteţi, 3 pentru că încă sunteţi lumeşti. Într-adevăr, când între voi există invidie, ceartă şi (dezbinări)[a], nu sunteţi voi lumeşti şi nu trăiţi voi în felul celorlalţi oameni? 4 Atunci când cineva spune: „Eu sunt al lui Pavel!“, iar altul: „Eu sunt al lui Apolos!“, nu sunteţi voi ca ceilalţi oameni? 5 Aşadar, cine este Apolos? Şi cine este Pavel? Slujitori prin care aţi crezut, aşa cum Domnul i-a dat fiecăruia. 6 Eu am sădit, Apolos a udat, dar Dumnezeu a făcut să crească! 7 Aşa că nici cel ce sădeşte, nici cel ce udă nu sunt nimic, ci numai Dumnezeu, Care face să crească! 8 Însă cel ce sădeşte şi cel ce udă sunt una şi fiecare îşi va primi răsplata după strădania lui. 9 Căci noi suntem conlucrători cu Dumnezeu, iar voi sunteţi ogorul lui Dumnezeu, clădirea lui Dumnezeu.
10 Potrivit cu harul lui Dumnezeu care mi-a fost dat, eu, ca un meşter constructor priceput, am pus temelia, şi altul construieşte pe ea. Dar fiecare să aibă grijă cum construieşte pe ea, 11 pentru că nimeni nu poate pune o altă temelie decât cea care este pusă şi care este Isus Cristos. 12 Iar dacă cineva construieşte, pe această temelie, aur, argint, pietre preţioase, lemn, fân, paie, 13 lucrarea fiecăruia va fi dezvăluită, pentru că Ziua o va face cunoscută, deoarece va fi descoperită prin foc. Şi focul va dovedi cum este lucrarea fiecăruia. 14 Dacă lucrarea pe care a construit-o cineva, va rămâne, el va primi o răsplată. 15 Dar dacă lucrarea cuiva va fi arsă, el va suferi pierderea; cât despre el, va fi mântuit, dar ca prin foc. 16 Nu ştiţi că voi sunteţi templul lui Dumnezeu şi că Duhul lui Dumnezeu locuieşte în voi? 17 Dacă cineva distruge[b] templul lui Dumnezeu, îl va distruge şi Dumnezeu pe el, pentru că templul lui Dumnezeu este sfânt; şi acest templu sunteţi voi.
18 Nici unul dintre voi să nu se înşele! Dacă vreunul dintre voi crede că este înţelept în felul veacului acestuia, să se facă „nebun“ ca să devină înţelept! 19 Căci înţelepciunea acestei lumi este nebunie înaintea lui Dumnezeu! Fiindcă este scris:
„El îi prinde pe cei înţelepţi în viclenia lor.“[c]
20 Şi, din nou:
„Domnul cunoaşte gândurile celor înţelepţi; ştie că sunt zadarnice.“[d]
21 Astfel, nimeni să nu se laude cu oameni, pentru că toate lucrurile sunt ale voastre: 22 fie Pavel, fie Apolos, fie Chifa, fie lumea, fie viaţa, fie moartea, fie prezentul, fie viitorul, toate sunt ale voastre, 23 iar voi sunteţi ai lui Cristos, şi Cristos este al lui Dumnezeu.
