1 Corinthians 3 Bible text
Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.
I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nay, not even now are ye able;
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?
Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
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.
each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.
If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
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.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
