New Testament

1 Corinthians 3:14-23 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

14. If the building that a man puts on the foundation still stands, he will get his reward.

15. But if his building is burned up, he will suffer loss. The man will be saved, but it will be as if he escaped from a fire.

16. You should know that you yourselves are God’s temple. God’s Spirit lives in you.

17. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him, because God’s temple is holy. You yourselves are God’s temple.

18. Do not fool yourselves. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this world, he should become a fool. Then he can become truly wise,

19. because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. It is written in the Scriptures, “He catches wise men in their own clever traps.”

20. It is also written in the Scriptures, “The Lord knows what people think. He knows they are just a puff of wind.”

21. So you should not brag about men. All things are yours:

22. Paul, Apollos and Peter; the world, life, death, the present, and the future—all these things are yours.

23. And you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
