1 Corinthians 3:7-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. So then neither is he that plants anything, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.

8. Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9. For we are laborers together with God: you are God's field, you are God's building.

10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.

11. For no other foundation can a man lay than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test every man's work of what sort it is.

14. If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

16. Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17. If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

18. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.

20. And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

23. And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
