1 Corinthians 3:9-17

English Standard Version

⁹ For we are ^(A)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, ^(B)God's building.

^10 (C)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled^[a] master builder I laid a ^(D)foundation, and ^(E)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. ¹¹ For no one can lay a ^(F)foundation other ^(G)than that which is laid, ^(H)which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— ^13 (I)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^(J)by fire, and ^(K)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. ¹⁴ If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^(L)he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^(M)but only as through fire.

^16 (N)Do you not know that you^[b] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For ^(O)God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
