1 Corinzi 3

3 Io, fratelli, sinora non ho potuto parlare a voi come a uomini spirituali, ma come ad esseri carnali, come a neonati in Cristo. 2 Vi ho dato da bere latte, non un nutrimento solido, perché non ne eravate capaci. E neanche ora lo siete; 3 perché siete ancora carnali: dal momento che c'è tra voi invidia e discordia, non siete forse carnali e non vi comportate in maniera tutta umana?
4 Quando uno dice: «Io sono di Paolo», e un altro: «Io sono di Apollo», non vi dimostrate semplicemente uomini?
La vera funzione dei predicatori
5 Ma che cosa è mai Apollo? Cosa è Paolo? Ministri attraverso i quali siete venuti alla fede e ciascuno secondo che il Signore gli ha concesso. 6 Io ho piantato, Apollo ha irrigato, ma è Dio che ha fatto crescere. 7 Ora né chi pianta, né chi irrìga è qualche cosa, ma Dio che fa crescere. 8 Non c'è differenza tra chi pianta e chi irrìga, ma ciascuno riceverà la sua mercede secondo il proprio lavoro. 9 Siamo infatti collaboratori di Dio, e voi siete il campo di Dio, l'edificio di Dio.
10 Secondo la grazia di Dio che mi è stata data, come un sapiente architetto io ho posto il fondamento; un altro poi vi costruisce sopra. Ma ciascuno stia attento come costruisce. 11 Infatti nessuno può porre un fondamento diverso da quello che gia vi si trova, che è Gesù Cristo. 12 E se, sopra questo fondamento, si costruisce con oro, argento, pietre preziose, legno, fieno, paglia, 13 l'opera di ciascuno sarà ben visibile: la farà conoscere quel giorno che si manifesterà col fuoco, e il fuoco proverà la qualità dell'opera di ciascuno. 14 Se l'opera che uno costruì sul fondamento resisterà, costui ne riceverà una ricompensa; 15 ma se l'opera finirà bruciata, sarà punito: tuttavia egli si salverà, però come attraverso il fuoco. 16 Non sapete che siete tempio di Dio e che lo Spirito di Dio abita in voi? 17 Se uno distrugge il tempio di Dio, Dio distruggerà lui. Perché santo è il tempio di Dio, che siete voi.
18 Nessuno si illuda. Se qualcuno tra voi si crede un sapiente in questo mondo, si faccia stolto per diventare sapiente; 19 perché la sapienza di questo mondo è stoltezza davanti a Dio. Sta scritto infatti:
Egli prende i sapienti per mezzo della loro astuzia.
20 E ancora:
Il Signore sa che i disegni dei sapienti sono vani.
21 Quindi nessuno ponga la sua gloria negli uomini, perché tutto è vostro: 22 Paolo, Apollo, Cefa, il mondo, la vita, la morte, il presente, il futuro: tutto è vostro! 23 Ma voi siete di Cristo e Cristo è di Dio.

Colaboradores de Dios
3 De manera que yo, hermanos, no pude hablaros como a espirituales, sino como a carnales, como a niños en Cristo. 2 Os di a beber leche, y no vianda;(A) porque aún no erais capaces, ni sois capaces todavía, 3 porque aún sois carnales; pues habiendo entre vosotros celos, contiendas y disensiones, ¿no sois carnales, y andáis como hombres? 4 Porque diciendo el uno: Yo ciertamente soy de Pablo; y el otro: Yo soy de Apolos,(B) ¿no sois carnales?
5 ¿Qué, pues, es Pablo, y qué es Apolos? Servidores por medio de los cuales habéis creído; y eso según lo que a cada uno concedió el Señor. 6 Yo planté,(C) Apolos regó;(D) pero el crecimiento lo ha dado Dios. 7 Así que ni el que planta es algo, ni el que riega, sino Dios, que da el crecimiento. 8 Y el que planta y el que riega son una misma cosa; aunque cada uno recibirá su recompensa conforme a su labor. 9 Porque nosotros somos colaboradores de Dios, y vosotros sois labranza de Dios, edificio de Dios.
10 Conforme a la gracia de Dios que me ha sido dada, yo como perito arquitecto puse el fundamento, y otro edifica encima; pero cada uno mire cómo sobreedifica. 11 Porque nadie puede poner otro fundamento que el que está puesto, el cual es Jesucristo. 12 Y si sobre este fundamento alguno edificare oro, plata, piedras preciosas, madera, heno, hojarasca, 13 la obra de cada uno se hará manifiesta; porque el día la declarará, pues por el fuego será revelada; y la obra de cada uno cuál sea, el fuego la probará. 14 Si permaneciere la obra de alguno que sobreedificó, recibirá recompensa. 15 Si la obra de alguno se quemare, él sufrirá pérdida, si bien él mismo será salvo, aunque así como por fuego.
16 ¿No sabéis que sois templo de Dios, y que el Espíritu de Dios mora en vosotros?(E) 17 Si alguno destruyere el templo de Dios, Dios le destruirá a él; porque el templo de Dios, el cual sois vosotros, santo es.
18 Nadie se engañe a sí mismo; si alguno entre vosotros se cree sabio en este siglo, hágase ignorante, para que llegue a ser sabio. 19 Porque la sabiduría de este mundo es insensatez para con Dios; pues escrito está: Él prende a los sabios en la astucia de ellos.(F) 20 Y otra vez: El Señor conoce los pensamientos de los sabios, que son vanos.(G) 21 Así que, ninguno se gloríe en los hombres; porque todo es vuestro: 22 sea Pablo, sea Apolos, sea Cefas, sea el mundo, sea la vida, sea la muerte, sea lo presente, sea lo por venir, todo es vuestro, 23 y vosotros de Cristo, y Cristo de Dios.
1 Corinthians 3
King James Version
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.

Sectarianism Is Carnal
3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to (A)babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with (B)milk and not with solid food; (C)for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
Watering, Working, Warning
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but (D)ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 (E)I planted, (F)Apollos watered, (G)but God gave the increase. 7 So then (H)neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, (I)and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For (J)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are (K)God’s building. 10 (L)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid (M)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than (N)that which is laid, (O)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day (P)will declare it, because (Q)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
16 (R)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone [b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Avoid Worldly Wisdom
18 (S)Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, (T)“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, (U)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For (V)all things are yours: 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 23 And (W)you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
