For we are God’s (A)fellow workers; you are God’s [a](B)field, God’s (C)building.

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