Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 3:1 | And, brothers, I was not able to speak to you as to spiritual ones, but as to fleshly ones, as to babes in Christ. |
| 3:2 | I gave you milk to drink, and not food, for you were not then able, but neither now are you yet able. |
| 3:3 | For you are yet fleshly. For where among you is jealousy, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly and walk according to man? |
| 3:4 | For when one may say, Truly I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos; are you not fleshly? |
| 3:5 | What then is Paul? And what Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave? |
| 3:6 | I planted, Apollos watered, but God made to grow. |
| 3:7 | So as neither he planting is anything, nor he watering, but God making to grow. |
| 3:8 | So he planting and he watering are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. |
| 3:9 | For we are fellow workers of God, a field of God, and you are a building of God. |
| 3:10 | According to God's grace given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, but another builds on it . But let each one be careful how he builds. |
| 3:11 | For no one is able to lay any other foundation beside the One having been laid, who is Jesus Christ. |
| 3:12 | And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, |
| 3:13 | the work of each will be revealed; for the Day will make it known, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire will prove the work of each, what sort it is. |
| 3:14 | If the work of anyone which he built remains, he will receive a reward. |
| 3:15 | If the work of anyone shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss; but he will be saved, but so as through fire. |
| 3:16 | Do you not know that you are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you? |
| 3:17 | If anyone corrupts the sanctuary of God, God will bring that one to corruption; for the sanctuary of God is holy, which you are. |
| 3:18 | Let no one deceive himself, if anyone thinks to be wise among you in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise. |
| 3:19 | For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it has been written, "He takes the wise in their own craftiness." Job 5:13 |
| 3:20 | And again, " The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are worthless." LXX-Psa. 93:11; MT-Psa. 94:11 |
| 3:21 | So let no one glory 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 Christ's, and Christ is God's. |
