1 Corinthians 3:16 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life.
2 I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren't ready for anything stronger. And you still aren't ready,
3 for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world?
4 When one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another says, "I follow Apollos," aren't you acting just like people of the world?
5 After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God's servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.
6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.
7 It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.
9 For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building.
10 Because of God's grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.
11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have-- Jesus Christ.
12 Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials-- gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw.
13 But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value.
14 If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward.
15 But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
16 Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
17 God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world's standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, "He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness."
20 And again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise; he knows they are worthless."
21 So don't boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you--
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Peter, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you,
23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
1 And G2532 I, G1473 brethren, G80 could G1410 not G3756 speak G2980 unto you G5213 as G5613 unto spiritual, G4152 but G235 as G5613 unto carnal, G4559 even as G5613 unto babes G3516 in G1722 Christ. G5547
2 I have fed G4222 you G5209 with milk, G1051 and G2532 not G3756 with meat: G1033 for G1063 hitherto ye were not able G3768 G1410 to bear it, G235 neither G3777 yet G2089 now G3568 are ye able. G1410
3 For G1063 ye are G2075 yet G2089 carnal: G4559 for G1063 whereas G3699 there is among G1722 you G5213 envying, G2205 and G2532 strife, G2054 and G2532 divisions, G1370 are G2075 ye not G3780 carnal, G4559 and G2532 walk G4043 as G2596 men G444 ?
4 For G1063 while G3752 one G5100 saith, G3004 I G1473 G3303 am G1510 of Paul; G3972 and G1161 another, G2087 I G1473 am of Apollos; G625 are G2075 ye not G3780 carnal G4559 ?
5 Who G5101 then G3767 is G2076 Paul, G3972 and G1161 who G5101 is Apollos, G625 but G235 G2228 ministers G1249 by G1223 whom G3739 ye believed, G4100 even G2532 as G5613 the G3588 Lord G2962 gave G1325 to every man G1538 ?
6 I G1473 have planted, G5452 Apollos G625 watered; G4222 but G235 God G2316 gave the increase. G837
7 So then G5620 neither G3777 is G2076 he that planteth G5452 any thing, G5100 neither G3777 he that watereth; G4222 but G235 God G2316 that giveth the increase. G837
8 Now G1161 he that planteth G5452 and G2532 he that watereth G4222 are G1526 one: G1520 and G1161 every man G1538 shall receive G2983 his own G2398 reward G3408 according G2596 to his own G2398 labor. G2873
9 For G1063 we are G2070 laborers together with G4904 God: G2316 ye are G2075 God's G2316 husbandry, G1091 ye are God's G2316 building. G3619
10 According G2596 to the G3588 grace G5485 of God G2316 which is given G1325 unto me, G3427 as G5613 a wise G4680 masterbuilder, G753 I have laid G5087 the foundation, G2310 and G1161 another G243 buildeth thereon. G2026 But G1161 let every man G1538 take heed G991 how G4459 he buildeth thereupon. G2026
11 For G1063 other G243 foundation G2310 can G1410 no man G3762 lay G5087 than G3844 that is laid, G2749 which G3739 is G2076 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
12 Now G1161 if any man G1536 build G2026 upon G1909 this G5126 foundation G2310 gold, G5557 silver, G696 precious G5093 stones, G3037 wood, G3586 hay, G5528 stubble; G2562
13 Every man's G1538 work G2041 shall be made G1096 manifest: G5318 for G1063 the G3588 day G2250 shall declare G1213 it, because G3754 it shall be revealed G601 by G1722 fire; G4442 and G2532 the G3588 fire G4442 shall try G1381 every man's G1538 work G2041 of what sort G3697 it is. G2076
14 If any man's G1536 work G2041 abide G3306 which G3739 he hath built thereupon, G2026 he shall receive G2983 a reward. G3408
15 If any man's G1536 work G2041 shall be burned, G2618 he shall suffer loss: G2210 but G1161 he G848 himself shall be saved; G4982 yet G1161 so G3779 as G5613 by G1223 fire. G4442
16 Know G1492 ye not G3756 that G3754 ye are G2075 the temple G3485 of God, G2316 and G2532 that the G3588 Spirit G4151 of God G2316 dwelleth G3611 in G1722 you G5213 ?
17 If any man G1536 defile G5351 the G3588 temple G3485 of God, G2316 him G5126 shall God G2316 destroy; G5351 for G1063 the G3588 temple G3485 of God G2316 is G2076 holy, G40 which G3748 temple ye G5210 are. G2075
18 Let no man G3367 deceive G1818 himself. G1438 If any man G1536 among G1722 you G5213 seemeth G1380 to be G1511 wise G4680 in G1722 this G5129 world, G165 let him become G1096 a fool, G3474 that G2443 he may be G1096 wise. G4680
19 For G1063 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world G2889 is G2076 foolishness G3472 with G3844 God. G2316 For G1063 it is written, G1125 He taketh G1405 the G3588 wise G4680 in G1722 their own G848 craftiness. G3834
20 And G2532 again, G3825 The Lord G2962 knoweth G1097 the G3588 thoughts G1261 of the G3588 wise, G4680 that G3754 they are G1526 vain. G3152
21 Therefore G5620 let no man G3367 glory G2744 in G1722 men. G444 For G1063 all things G3956 are G2076 yours; G5216
22 Whether G1535 Paul, G3972 or G1535 Apollos, G625 or G1535 Cephas, G2786 or G1535 the world, G2889 or G1535 life, G2222 or G1535 death, G2288 or G1535 things present, G1764 or G1535 things to come; G3195 all G3956 are G2076 yours; G5216
23 And G1161 ye G5210 are Christ's G5547; and G1161 Christ G5547 is God's G2316.
