¹³ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

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.

^16 (I)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone ^[a]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

^27 (A)And as it is appointed for men to die once, ^(B)but after this the judgment, ²⁸ so ^(C)Christ was ^(D)offered once to bear the sins ^(E)of many. To those who ^(F)eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
