⁴² And ^(A)whoever gives one of ^(B)these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

¹⁰ Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For ^(A)we will all stand before ^(B)the judgment seat of God; ¹¹ for it is written,

¹² So then ^(D)each of us will give an account of himself to God.

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

⁵ Therefore ^(A)do not pronounce judgment before the time, ^(B)before the Lord comes, ^(C)who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. ^(D)Then each one will receive his commendation from God.
