New Testament

1 Corinthians 3:10-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, but another builds on it. Now let each one take heed how he builds on it.

11. For no one can lay another foundation than that which was laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble,

13. each one’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done.

14. If anyone’s work which he has built on the foundation endures, he will receive a reward.

15. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss. But he himself will be saved, still going through the fire.

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

17. If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy. And you are His temple.

18. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone 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 catches the wise in their own craftiness,”
