Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians

capitolul 3


Capitole:


versetul 1

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.


versetul 2

I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,


versetul 3

for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?


versetul 4

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?


versetul 5

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?


versetul 6

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.


versetul 7

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.


versetul 8

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.


versetul 9

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.


versetul 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.


versetul 11

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.


versetul 12

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,


versetul 13

each man’s 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 man’s work is.


versetul 14

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.


versetul 15

If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.


versetul 16

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?


versetul 17

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.


versetul 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.


versetul 19

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”


versetul 20

And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”


versetul 21

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,


versetul 22

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,


versetul 23

and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
