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