9 For (A)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are (B)God’s building. 10 (C)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid (D)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than (E)that which is laid, (F)which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day (G)will declare it, because (H)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

10 By the grace God has given me,(D) I laid a foundation(E) as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.(F) 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is,(G) because the Day(H) will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.(I) 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.(J) 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.(K)
