Old Testament

New Testament

1 Corinthians 3:12-23 World English Bible (WEB)

12. But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

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.

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

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

16. Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

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

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.

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

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

21. Therefore let no one boast 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.
