NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Corinthians 3

Foundations for Living

1

And I, brethreng80, couldg1410 not speakg2980 to you as to  aspiritualg4152 meng4152, but as to  bmeng4560 of fleshg4560, as to  cinfantsg3516 in Christg5547.

2

I gaveg4222 you  amilkg1051 to drinkg4222, not solid foodg1033; for you  bwere not yetg3768 ableg1410 to receive it. Indeedg235, eveng3761 nowg3568 you are not yetg2089 ableg1410,

3

for you are stillg2089 fleshlyg4559. For sinceg3699 there is  ajealousyg2205b and strifeg2054 amongg1722 you, are you not fleshlyg4559, and are you not walkingg4043  1 blikeg2596 mere meng444?

4

For wheng3752  aoneg5100 saysg3004, "I amg1510 of Paulg3972," and anotherg2087, "I am of Apollosg625," are you not mere  bmeng444?

5

Whatg5101 theng3767 is Apollosg625? And whatg5101 is Paulg3972?  aServantsg1249 throughg1223 whomg3739 you believedg4100, eveng2532  bas the Lordg2962 gaveg1325 opportunity to eachg1538 oneg1538.

6

 aI plantedg5452,  bApollosg625 wateredg4222, but  cGodg2316 was causingg837 the growthg837.

7

Sog5620 theng5620 neitherg3777 the one who plantsg5452 norg3777 the one who watersg4222 is anythingg5100, but Godg2316 who causesg837 the growthg837.

8

Nowg1161 he who plantsg5452 and he who watersg4222 are oneg1520; but eachg1538 will  areceiveg2983 his owng2398  1rewardg3408 accordingg2596 to his owng2398 laborg2873.

9

For we are God'sg2316  afellowg4904 workersg4904; you are God'sg2316  1 bfieldg1091, God'sg2316  cbuildingg3619.

10

Accordingg2596 to  athe graceg5485 of Godg2316 which was giveng1325 to me, likeg5613 a wiseg4680 masterg753 builderg753  bI laidg5087 a foundationg2310b, and  canotherg243 is buildingg2026 on it. But eachg1538 mang1538 must be carefulg991 howg4459 he buildsg2026 on it.

11

For nog3762 mang3762 cang1410 layg5087 a  afoundationg2310b otherg243 thang3844 the one which is laidg2749, whichg3739 is Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

12

Nowg1161 ifg1487 anyg5100 mang5100 buildsg2026 on the foundationg2310b with goldg5553, silverg694,  1preciousg5093 stonesg3037, woodg3586, hayg5528, strawg2562,

13

 aeachg1538 man'sg1538 workg2041 will becomeg1096 evidentg5318; for  bthe dayg2250 will showg1213 it becauseg3754 it is to be revealedg601 with fireg4442, and the fireg4442 itselfg846 will testg1381a  1the qualityg3697 of eachg1538 man'sg1538 workg2041.

14

Ifg1487 anyg5100 man'sg5100 workg2041 whichg3739 he has builtg2026 on it remainsg3306, he will  areceiveg2983 a rewardg3408.

15

Ifg1487 anyg5100 man'sg5100 workg2041 is burnedg2618 up, he will sufferg2210 lossg2210; but he himselfg846 will be savedg4982, yetg1161  asog3779 as throughg1223 fireg4442.

16

 aDo you not knowg3609a that  byou are a  1templeg3485 of Godg2316 and that the Spiritg4151 of Godg2316 dwellsg3611 in you?

17

Ifg1487 anyg5100 mang5100 destroysg5351 the  1templeg3485 of Godg2316, Godg2316 will destroyg5351 him, for the  1templeg3485 of Godg2316 is holyg40, and  2that is whatg3748 you are.

18

 aLet nog3367 mang3367 deceiveg1818 himselfg1438.  bIfg1487 anyg5100 mang5100 amongg1722 you thinksg1380 that he is wiseg4680 in  cthisg3778 ageg165, he must becomeg1096 foolishg3474, sog2443 that he may becomeg1096 wiseg4680.

19

For  athe wisdomg4678 of thisg3778 worldg2889 is foolishnessg3472 beforeg3844 Godg2316. For it is writteng1125, "He is  bTHE ONE WHO CATCHESg1405 THE WISEg4680 IN THEIR CRAFTINESSg3834";

20

and againg3825, " aTHE LORDg2962 KNOWSg1097 THE REASONINGSg1261 of the wiseg4680, THAT THEY ARE USELESSg3152."

21

Sog5620 theng5620  alet nog3367 oneg3367 boastg2744 in meng444. For  ballg3956 thingsg3956 belongg1510 to you,

22

 awhetherg1535a Paulg3972 org1535a Apollosg625 org1535a Cephasg2786 org1535a the worldg2889 org1535a  blifeg2222 org1535a deathg2288 org1535a thingsg1764 presentg1764 org1535a thingsg3195 to comeg3195; allg3956 thingsg3956 belong to you,

23

and  ayou belong to Christg5547; and  bChristg5547 belongs to Godg2316.
