1 Corinthians 3
|
|
| 3:1
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto
carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. |
|
| 3:2
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able
to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. |
|
| 3:3
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife,
and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
|
| 3:4
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye
not carnal? |
|
| 3:5
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed,
even as the Lord gave to every man? |
|
| 3:6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. |
|
| 3:7
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth;
but God that giveth the increase. |
|
| 3:8
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall
receive his own reward according to his own labour. |
|
| 3:9
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are
God's building. |
|
| 3:10
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But
let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. |
|
| 3:11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. |
|
| 3:12
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble; |
|
| 3:13
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 try every man's
work of what sort it is. |
|
| 3:14
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a
reward. |
|
| 3:15
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself
shall be saved; yet so as by fire. |
BOM: 1 Nephi 22:17
|
| 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you? |
|
| 3:17
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple
of God is holy, which temple ye are. |
"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy."
If you defile the temple of God, God will destroy you.
Does hell exist?
|
| 3:18
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world,
let him become a fool, that he may be wise. |
 (3:18-19)
"If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world,
let him become a fool, that he may be wise."
Christians who want to be wise must become fools. But then they'll have a
problem since fools shall not stand in the sight of God (Ps.5:5)
Is it good to be foolish?
|
| 3:19
For the wisdom of this
world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in
their own craftiness.
|
| 3:20
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. |
|
| 3:21
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; |
|
| 3:22
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or
things present, or things to come; all are your's; |
|
| 3:23
And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
