3:1 Brothers, I couldnt speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
3:2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you werent yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,
3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, arent you fleshly, and dont you walk in the ways of men?
3:4 For when one says, I follow Paul, and another, I follow Apollos, arent you fleshly?
3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?
3:6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
3:7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
3:9 For we are Gods fellow workers. You are Gods farming, Gods building.
3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;
3:13 each mans work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each mans work is.
3:14 If any mans work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
3:15 If any mans work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
3:16 Dont you know that you are a temple of God, and that Gods Spirit lives in you?
3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for Gods temple is holy, which you are.
3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He has taken the wise in their craftiness.
3:20 And again, The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.
3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
3:23 and you are Christs, and Christ is Gods.
