1 Corinthians 3:10-15

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ God has given me the grace to lay a foundation as a wise builder. Now someone else is building on it. But each one should build carefully. ¹¹ No one can lay any other foundation than what has already been laid. That foundation is Jesus Christ. ¹² A person may build on it using gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw. ¹³ But each person’s work will be shown for what it is. On judgment day it will be brought to light. It will be put through fire. The fire will test how good each person’s work is. ¹⁴ If the building doesn’t burn up, God will give the builder a reward for the work. ¹⁵ If the building burns up, the builder will lose everything. The builder will be saved, but only like one escaping through the flames.
