The Way of Wisdom

^20 (A)built on the foundation of the ^(B)apostles and prophets, ^(C)Christ Jesus himself being ^(D)the cornerstone, ^21 (E)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(F)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(G)you also are being built together ^(H)into a dwelling place for God by^[a] the Spirit.

^12 (A)The one who conquers, I will make him ^(B)a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him ^(C)the name of my God, and ^(D)the name of the city of my God, ^(E)the new Jerusalem, ^(F)which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own ^(G)new name.

⁹ and when James and Cephas and John, ^(A)who seemed to be ^(B)pillars, perceived the ^(C)grace that was given to me, they ^(D)gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

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.
