1 Corinthians 3:8-21

8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will areceive his own 1reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s afellow workers; you are God’s 1bfield, God’s cbuilding.
10 According to athe grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder bI laid a foundation, and canother is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.
11 For no one can lay a afoundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, 1precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 aeach man’s work will become evident, for bthe day will indicate it because it is revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test 1the quality of each man’s work. 14 If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will areceive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet aso as through fire.
16 aDo you not know that byou are a 1sanctuary of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man destroys the 1sanctuary of God, God will destroy him, for the 1sanctuary of God is holy, and 2that is what you are.
18 aLet no man deceive himself. bIf any man among you thinks that he is wise in cthis age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.
19 For athe wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is bthe one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; 20 and again, “aThe Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.” 21 So then alet no one boast in men. For ball things belong to you,
