1 Corinthians 3:9-15
New Living Translation
9 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.
10 Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
12 Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. 13 But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. 14 If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. 15 But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.

9 For we are co-workers in God’s service;(A) you are God’s field,(B) God’s building.(C)
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)
Psalm 33:16-18
New Living Translation
16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
