Passage: 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, 10-16, 21 (RSV)


1 Corinthians 3


1But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ.
2I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready,
3for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men?
4For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men?
 
10According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it.
11For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --
13each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
14If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
15If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
16Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
 
21So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,
