Sòm 105-106
Haitian Creole Version
105 ¶ Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa! Fè nasyon yo konnen sa li fè!
2 Chante pou li! Fè lwanj li! Rakonte tout mèvèy li te fè yo!
3 Fè kè nou kontan paske se moun pa l' nou ye. Wi, se pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a fè fèt!
4 Ale jwenn Seyè a pou l' ka ede nou, toujou chache rete devan li.
5 -(we vèsè pwochen)
6 Nou menm, pitit pitit Abraram, sèvitè Bondye, nou menm, pitit pitit Jakòb yo, nou menm Bondye chwazi, chonje mirak ak mèvèy li te fè. Chonje jijman ki te soti nan bouch li!
7 Seyè a se Bondye nou li ye. Lè li pase yon lòd se pou tout latè.
8 ¶ -(we vèsè pwochen)
9 L'ap toujou chonje kontra li te pase ak Abraram. L'ap kenbe pwomès li, pwomès li fè Izarak la pou tout tan tout tan.
10 Sa li te pwomèt Abraram lan, li fè l' tounen yon lwa pou pitit Jakòb yo, yon kontra ak pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan.
11 Li te di: -M'ap ba ou peyi Kanaran an pou pòsyon ki rele ou pa ou nan byen m' yo.
12 Lè sa a, pèp Bondye a pa t' anpil, yo te sèlman yon ti ponyen moun, yo te tankou etranje toujou nan peyi a.
13 Yo t'ap mache ale vini nan tout nasyon yo, yo t'ap soti nan yon peyi ale nan yon lòt.
14 Men, li pa t' kite pesonn maltrete yo. Li te menm rive pini anpil wa poutèt yo.
15 Li te di: Piga nou manyen moun mwen chwazi yo. Piga nou fè pwofèt mwen yo anyen.
16 Lè Seyè a te voye yon grangou sou peyi yo a, lè li te koupe tout viv yo,
17 li te voye Jozèf devan yo, menm Jozèf yo te vann tankou esklav la.
18 Yo te mete pye l' nan sèp, yo te pase yon chenn nan kou li,
19 jouk sa li te di a te rive vre. Konsa, pawòl Seyè a te fè wè se Jozèf ki te gen rezon.
20 Wa peyi Lejip la te wete l' nan chenn yo, chèf nasyon yo te fè lage l'.
21 Li mete l' chèf sou tout moun lakay li, li mete l' pou l' gouvènen tout peyi a.
22 Li ba li kat blanch sou tout chèf yo, li ba li otorite pou l' moutre notab yo sa pou yo fè.
23 Apre sa, Jakòb te desann nan peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout pitit li yo. Li pase kèk tan nan peyi pitit Kam yo.
24 Seyè a te fè pèp li a peple anpil. Li te fè l' vin pi fò pase lènmi l' yo.
25 ¶ Li fè moun peyi Lejip yo rayi pèp li a: Yo aji mal ak li, yo twonpe li.
26 Lè sa a, li voye Moyiz, yon moun ki t'ap sèvi l', ansanm ak Arawon, yon moun li te chwazi.
27 Avèk pouvwa li, yo te fè mèvèy nan peyi pitit Kam yo. Yo te fè anpil mirak nan peyi Lejip.
28 Li voye fènwa kouvri tout peyi a. Men, moun peyi Lejip yo pa t' koute sa l' te di yo.
29 Li fè dlo larivyè yo tounen san, li touye tout pwason ladan yo.
30 Krapo te pran tout peyi a pou yo, yo te rive jouk anndan kay wa a.
31 Bondye annik pale, mouchavè ak vèmin parèt, yo kouvri tout peyi a.
32 Li pa ba yo lapli, li voye lagrèl pito ak kout zèklè sou peyi a.
33 Li te detwi tout pye rezen ak tout pye figfrans yo. Li jete tout pyebwa nan peyi a atè.
34 Bondye annik pale, chwalbwa parèt, chini vide an kantite.
35 Yo devore tout ti plant nan peyi a, yo manje tout rekòt nan jaden yo.
36 Bondye touye premye pitit gason nan tout fanmi nan peyi Lejip la. Wi, li touye tout premye pitit gason yo.
37 Apre sa, li fè pèp Izrayèl la pati avèk kantite lò ak ajan. Anyen pa t' rive yo yonn menm.
38 Moun peyi Lejip yo te fè fèt lè yo pati paske yo te pè anpil.
39 Seyè a mete yon nwaj pou pwoteje yo lajounen, yon dife pou klere yo lannwit.
40 Yo mande l' vyann, li ba yo zòtolan. Li ba yo pen ki soti nan syèl pou plen vant yo.
41 Li fann yon gwo wòch, sous dlo pete, dlo pran koule nan dezè a tankou larivyè.
42 Li te chonje pwomès li te fè a, pawòl li te bay Abraram, sèvitè l' la.
43 Se konsa li te fè pèp li a soti ak kè kontan, li te fè pèp li te chwazi a rele sitèlman yo te kontan.
44 Li ba yo tè lòt nasyon yo, li kite yo ranmase rekòt jaden lòt moun,
45 pou pèp li a te ka kenbe lòd li yo, pou yo te ka obeyi kòmandman li yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
106 ¶ Lwanj pou Seyè a! Wi, lwanj pou Seyè a paske li bon: li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
2 Ki moun ki ka rakonte tout gwo bagay Seyè a fè? Ki moun ki ka fin fè lwanj li?
3 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki fè sa Bondye mande l' fè, ki toujou ap fè sa ki dwat devan li!
4 Seyè, jan ou gen kè sansib pou pèp ou a, pa bliye m'. Pa bliye m', lè w'ap vin delivre yo.
5 Konsa, m'a wè jan moun ou chwazi yo alèz. M'a fè kè m' kontan ansanm ak pèp ou a. M'a pran plezi m' ansanm ak moun ki pou ou yo.
6 ¶ Tankou zansèt nou yo, nou te peche, nou te fè mechanste, nou te fè sa ki mal.
7 Lè zansèt nou yo te nan peyi Lejip, yo pa t' konprann mirak ou te fè pou yo. Yo te bliye jan ou te renmen yo, yo leve dèyè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, lè yo te bò Lanmè Wouj la.
8 Men, li te sove yo pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou li, pou l' moutre jan li gen pouvwa.
9 Li te pase Lanmè Wouj la lòd, lanmè a cheche. Li fè pèp li mache nan fon lanmè a tankou si se te nan yon dezè.
10 Li sove yo anba men moun ki te rayi yo, li delivre yo anba men lènmi yo.
11 Dlo a neye tout lènmi yo. Pa gen yonn ki chape.
12 Se lè sa a pèp li a vin kwè sa l' te di a, yo chante pou fè lwanj li.
13 ¶ Men, lamenm, yo bliye sa l' te fè pou yo. Yo pa t' tann li fin fè pou yo sa l' te gen nan lide l'.
14 Yo kite lanvi pran pye sou yo nan dezè a, yo t'ap gade ki bò Bondye ye ak yo.
15 Se konsa, Bondye ba yo sa yo te mande l' la. Men, li voye yon move maladi sou yo pou touye yo.
16 Antan yo la nan dezè a yo te rayi sò Moyiz ak sò Arawon, sèvitè Bondye te chwazi a.
17 Se konsa latè a fann, li vale Datan, li fèmen sou Abiram ansanm ak tout moun ki te fè bann ak li yo.
18 Dife grennen sou tout bann lan, li boule tout mechan yo.
19 Lè yo te Orèb, yo fè pòtre yon ti towo bèf, yo adore zidòl yo te fè ak lò a.
20 Yo pran lwanj ki pou Bondye a bay yon pòtre bèf ki manje zèb.
21 Yo bliye Bondye ki te delivre yo a, avèk gwo mèvèy li te fè nan peyi Lejip,
22 mirak li te fè nan peyi Kam lan, mèvèy li tè fè bò Lanmè Wouj la.
23 Se konsa Bondye di l'ap detwi pèp li a. Men, Moyiz, moun li te chwazi a, kanpe devan li. Li mande l' pou l' pa fè kòlè jouk pou li ta detwi yo.
24 Yo pa t' vle tande pale sou peyi kote pou yo jwenn tout bon bagay la paske yo pa t' kwè pawòl Bondye.
25 Yo rete anba tant yo, y'ap bougonnen. Yo pa t' vle koute Seyè a.
26 Lè sa a, Seyè a leve men l', li sèmante l'ap fè yo peri nan dezè a.
27 L'ap gaye tout pitit pitit yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, l'ap kite yo mouri toupatou nan peyi etranje.
28 Men, pèp Bondye a mete tèt yo ansanm pou y' al adore Baal lavil Peyò. Yo manje bèt yo te touye ofri bay mò yo.
29 Sa te moute kolè Seyè a anpil sou yo lè li wè sa yo t'ap fè. Se poutèt sa maladi tonbe sou yo.
30 Men, Fineas leve, li mete lòd, li pini koupab yo, epi pèp la geri.
31 Bagay sa ki rive a te fè yo bay Fineas rezon depi lè sa a pou tout tan.
32 Pèp la te fè Seyè a fache anpil bò sous dlo Meriba a. Sa te fè Moyiz lapenn pou yo.
33 Sa te fè Moyiz sitèlman fache, li te rive fè bagay li pa t' gen dwa fè.
34 ¶ Yo pa t' detwi moun lòt nasyon yo jan Seyè a te mande yo fè a.
35 Men, okontrè, yo te marye ak yo, yo pran tout vye mès yo.
36 Yo pran adore zidòl yo. Sa tounen yon pèlen pou yo.
37 Yo ofri pwòp pitit gason ak pwòp pitit fi yo pou touye bay zidòl yo.
38 Yo touye ti inonsan sa yo, pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo ofri yo bay zidòl moun peyi Kanaran yo. Se konsa yo fin derespekte tout peyi a ak san moun yo te touye.
39 Avèk sa yo t'ap fè a, yo avili tèt yo, yo vire do bay Bondye.
40 Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp li a. Li te degoute ak pitit li yo.
41 Li lage yo nan men moun lòt nasyon yo. Moun ki te rayi yo mete pye sou kou yo.
42 Lènmi yo t'ap peze yo, yo te soumèt yo nèt anba men yo.
43 Seyè a te delivre pèp li a anpil fwa. Men, yo te pito revòlte kont li, yo te tonbe pi mal nan fè peche.
44 Men, Seyè a te wè mizè yo, li te tande jan y'ap rele.
45 Li chonje kontra li te pase ak yo, li gen pitye pou yo paske li renmen yo anpil.
46 Li fè moun ki te kenbe yo prizonye gen pitye pou yo.
47 Delivre nou non, Seyè, Bondye nou. Fè nou soti nan tout peyi kote nou gaye yo. Sanble nou non, pou nou ka di ou mèsi pou tout bagay ou menm ase ou ka fè, pou nou ka kontan lè n'ap fè lwanj ou.
48 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Ann fè lwanj li depi tout tan ak pou tout tan! Epi tout pèp la pran reponn: Wi, se vre! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
Psalm 105-106
New International Version
Psalm 105-106
New International Version
Psalm 105(A)
1 Give praise to the Lord,(B) proclaim his name;(C)
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him,(D) sing praise to him;(E)
tell of all his wonderful acts.(F)
3 Glory in his holy name;(G)
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face(H) always.
5 Remember the wonders(I) he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,(J)
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,(K)
his chosen(L) ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant(M) forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,(N)
the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 He confirmed it(O) to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:(P)
11 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(Q)
as the portion you will inherit.”(R)
12 When they were but few in number,(S)
few indeed, and strangers in it,(T)
13 they wandered from nation to nation,(U)
from one kingdom to another.
14 He allowed no one to oppress(V) them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(W)
15 “Do not touch(X) my anointed ones;
do my prophets(Y) no harm.”
16 He called down famine(Z) on the land
and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 and he sent a man before them—
Joseph, sold as a slave.(AA)
18 They bruised his feet with shackles,(AB)
his neck was put in irons,
19 till what he foretold(AC) came to pass,
till the word(AD) of the Lord proved him true.
20 The king sent and released him,
the ruler of peoples set him free.(AE)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all he possessed,
22 to instruct his princes(AF) as he pleased
and teach his elders wisdom.(AG)
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;(AH)
Jacob resided(AI) as a foreigner in the land of Ham.(AJ)
24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous(AK) for their foes,
25 whose hearts he turned(AL) to hate his people,
to conspire(AM) against his servants.
26 He sent Moses(AN) his servant,
and Aaron,(AO) whom he had chosen.(AP)
27 They performed(AQ) his signs(AR) among them,
his wonders(AS) in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness(AT) and made the land dark—
for had they not rebelled against(AU) his words?
29 He turned their waters into blood,(AV)
causing their fish to die.(AW)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,(AX)
which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 He spoke,(AY) and there came swarms of flies,(AZ)
and gnats(BA) throughout their country.
32 He turned their rain into hail,(BB)
with lightning throughout their land;
33 he struck down their vines(BC) and fig trees(BD)
and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spoke,(BE) and the locusts came,(BF)
grasshoppers(BG) without number;(BH)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
ate up the produce of their soil.
36 Then he struck down all the firstborn(BI) in their land,
the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,(BJ)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel(BK) had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud(BL) as a covering,
and a fire to give light at night.(BM)
40 They asked,(BN) and he brought them quail;(BO)
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(BP)
41 He opened the rock,(BQ) and water gushed out;
it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembered his holy promise(BR)
given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(BS)
his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(BT)
and they fell heir to what others had toiled(BU) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts
and observe his laws.(BV)
Psalm 106(BX)
2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts(CB) of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act justly,(CC)
who always do what is right.(CD)
4 Remember me,(CE) Lord, when you show favor(CF) to your people,
come to my aid(CG) when you save them,
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity(CH) of your chosen ones,(CI)
that I may share in the joy(CJ) of your nation
and join your inheritance(CK) in giving praise.
6 We have sinned,(CL) even as our ancestors(CM) did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(CN)
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt,
they gave no thought(CO) to your miracles;
they did not remember(CP) your many kindnesses,
and they rebelled by the sea,(CQ) the Red Sea.[c]
8 Yet he saved them(CR) for his name’s sake,(CS)
to make his mighty power(CT) known.
9 He rebuked(CU) the Red Sea, and it dried up;(CV)
he led them through(CW) the depths as through a desert.
10 He saved them(CX) from the hand of the foe;(CY)
from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.(CZ)
11 The waters covered(DA) their adversaries;
not one of them survived.
12 Then they believed his promises
and sang his praise.(DB)
13 But they soon forgot(DC) what he had done
and did not wait for his plan to unfold.(DD)
14 In the desert(DE) they gave in to their craving;
in the wilderness(DF) they put God to the test.(DG)
15 So he gave them(DH) what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease(DI) among them.
16 In the camp they grew envious(DJ) of Moses
and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
17 The earth opened(DK) up and swallowed Dathan;(DL)
it buried the company of Abiram.(DM)
18 Fire blazed(DN) among their followers;
a flame consumed the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calf(DO)
and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their glorious God(DP)
for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
21 They forgot the God(DQ) who saved them,
who had done great things(DR) in Egypt,
22 miracles in the land of Ham(DS)
and awesome deeds(DT) by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would destroy(DU) them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach(DV) before him
to keep his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they despised(DW) the pleasant land;(DX)
they did not believe(DY) his promise.
25 They grumbled(DZ) in their tents
and did not obey the Lord.
26 So he swore(EA) to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,(EB)
27 make their descendants fall among the nations
and scatter(EC) them throughout the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor(ED)
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29 they aroused the Lord’s anger(EE) by their wicked deeds,(EF)
and a plague(EG) broke out among them.
30 But Phinehas(EH) stood up and intervened,
and the plague was checked.(EI)
31 This was credited to him(EJ) as righteousness
for endless generations(EK) to come.
32 By the waters of Meribah(EL) they angered the Lord,
and trouble came to Moses because of them;
33 for they rebelled(EM) against the Spirit(EN) of God,
and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[d](EO)
34 They did not destroy(EP) the peoples
as the Lord had commanded(EQ) them,
35 but they mingled(ER) with the nations
and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,(ES)
which became a snare(ET) to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons(EU)
and their daughters to false gods.(EV)
38 They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons(EW) and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves(EX) by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted(EY) themselves.
40 Therefore the Lord was angry(EZ) with his people
and abhorred his inheritance.(FA)
41 He gave them into the hands(FB) of the nations,
and their foes ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed(FC) them
and subjected them to their power.
43 Many times he delivered them,(FD)
but they were bent on rebellion(FE)
and they wasted away in their sin.
44 Yet he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;(FF)
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant(FG)
and out of his great love(FH) he relented.(FI)
46 He caused all who held them captive
to show them mercy.(FJ)
47 Save us,(FK) Lord our God,
and gather us(FL) from the nations,
that we may give thanks(FM) to your holy name(FN)
and glory in your praise.
48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”(FO)
Praise the Lord.

1 Korint 3
Haitian Creole Version
3 ¶ Men, frè m' yo, pou di vre, mwen pa t' kapab pale ak nou tankou ak moun ki gen Lespri Bondye a nan kè yo. Mwen te blije pale ak nou tankou ak moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lèmonn, tankou ak moun ki timoun toujou nan konfyans yo nan Kris la.
2 Mwen te blije moutre nou ti bagay tou senp, tankou lè yo bay timoun piti lèt, yo pa ba yo gwo manje. Paske nou pa t' ankò pare pou sa. Ata koulye a, nou poko pare.
3 Paske n'ap viv tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn toujou. Depi ou tande gen jalouzi nan mitan nou, depi nou gen kont yonn ak lòt, nou tou wè se moun lemonn nou ye, se tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan n'ap viv.
4 Lè yonn rete li di: Mwen menm, mwen se moun Pòl; yon lòt: Mwen se moun Apolòs, èske se pa tankou moun lemonn n'ap pale?
5 ¶ Lè ou gade byen, ki moun ki Apolòs la? Ki moun ki Pòl la? Nou tou de se sèvitè Bondye nou ye. N'ap travay pou nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou te ka rive kwè. Chak moun te fè travay Mèt la te ba l' fè.
6 Mwen plante, Apolòs wouze, men se Bondye ki fè plant lan pouse.
7 Konsa, moun ki plante a pa anyen, moun ki wouze a pa anyen tou. Se Bondye ki tout bagay la, se li menm ki fè plant lan pouse.
8 Moun ki plante a ak moun ki wouze a, se menm bagay yo ye. Bondye va ba yo sa yo merite dapre travay yo fè.
9 Apolòs ak mwen, se travay n'ap travay ansanm pou Bondye. Nou menm, moun Korent yo, nou se tankou yon jaden Bondye bay travay pou li. Ou ankò, nou se yon kay Bondye ap bati.
10 Dapre favè Bondye te fè m' lan, mwen travay tankou yon bon enjenyè, mwen poze fondasyon an. Yon lòt ap bati sou li. Men, se pou chak moun veye kò yo pou yo konnen ki jan y'ap bati.
11 ¶ Paske fondasyon an deja la: se Jezikri. Pesonn pa ka poze yon lòt.
12 Gen moun k'ap sevi ak lò, osinon ak lajan, osinon ak bèl wòch ki koute chè pou bati sou fondasyon an. Gen lòt menm k'ap sèvi ak bwa, ak zèb chèch, ak pay.
13 Men, se jou jijman an n'a wè ki kalite travay chak moun te bay. Se jou sa a ki va devwale kalite travay chak moun te fè. Paske jou sa a, se nan mitan dife l'ap parèt. Dife a pral sonde travay chak moun. L'ap fè wè kalite travay yo.
14 Si dife a pa boule travay yon moun bati sou fondasyon an, moun sa a ap resevwa rekonpans li.
15 Men tou, si dife a boule travay yon moun, moun sa a ap pèdi travay li. Men li menm, l'ap sove, tankou yon moun ki chape nan yon kay k'ap boule.
16 ¶ Eske nou pa konnen se tanp Bondye a nou ye, se Lespri Bondye a ki rete nan kè nou?
17 Enben, si yon moun kraze tanp Bondye a, Bondye ap kraze l' tou. Paske tanp Bondye a se yon bagay ki apa pou li. Se nou menm ki tanp Bondye a.
18 ¶ Piga pesonn twonpe tèt yo. Si yon moun mete nan lide l' li gen bon konprann tankou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo, pito li vin fou pou l' ka gen bon konprann tout bon.
19 Paske, bon konprann moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn yo se bagay moun fou li ye devan Bondye. Men sa n' jwenn ekri nan Liv la: Bondye pran moun lespri yo nan pwòp pèlen yo te tann lan.
20 Nou jwenn sa ekri tou: Bondye konnen lide moun save yo mete nan tèt yo, li konnen tou sa pa vo anyen.
21 ¶ Konsa, pesonn pa dwe chache lwanj pou tèt pa yo nan sa moun ka fè. Pou nou menm, tout bagay se pou nou yo ye.
22 Ni Pòl, ni Apolòs, ni Pyè, ni tou sa ki sou latè, se pou nou yo ye. Lavi, lanmò, bagay ki la koulye a, bagay ki gen pou vini, tou sa se pou nou yo ye tou.
23 Men nou menm, se pou Kris la nou ye. Kris la menm, se pou Bondye.
1 Corinthians 3
New International Version
1 Corinthians 3
New International Version
The Church and Its Leaders
3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit(A) but as people who are still worldly(B)—mere infants(C) in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food,(D) for you were not yet ready for it.(E) Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling(F) among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,”(G) are you not mere human beings?
5 What, after all, is Apollos?(H) And what is Paul? Only servants,(I) through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed,(J) Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.(K) 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service;(L) you are God’s field,(M) God’s building.(N)
10 By the grace God has given me,(O) I laid a foundation(P) 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.(Q) 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,(R) because the Day(S) will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.(T) 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.(U) 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.(V)
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple(W) and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?(X) 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise(Y) by the standards of this age,(Z) you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness(AA) in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a];(AB) 20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”[b](AC) 21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders!(AD) All things are yours,(AE) 22 whether Paul or Apollos(AF) or Cephas[c](AG) or the world or life or death or the present or the future(AH)—all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ,(AI) and Christ is of God.
