1 Corinthians 3:9-17 (Epistle)
- 9
- For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
- 10
- According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid 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 that which is laid, 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 will declare it, because 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
- Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- 17
- If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
