8. Now he that plants and he that waters are one although each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9. For we are labourers together with God; ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let each one see how the building is built.
11. For no one can lay another foundation than that laid, which is Jesus the Christ.
12. Now if anyone builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,
13. the work of each one shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire; the work of each one, whatever sort it is, the fire shall put it to test.
14. If the work of anyone abides which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15. If anyone’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17. If anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy that one; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18. Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you seems to be wise in this age, let them become a fool that they may be wise.
