1 Corinthians
3: 10-23
One: Because of
God’s grace to me,
I have laid the foundation like an
expert builder.
Now others are building on it.
But whoever is building on this
foundation must be very careful.
For no one can lay any foundation
other than the one we already
have—Jesus Christ.
Two: Don’t you
realize that all of you together are the temple of God
and that the Spirit of God lives
in you?
God will destroy anyone who
destroys this temple.
For God’s temple is holy, and you are
that temple.
One: Stop deceiving
yourselves.
If you think you are wise by this
world’s standards,
you need to become a fool to be
truly wise.
For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness to God.
As the Scriptures say,
Two: He traps the
wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”
One: And again,
Two: The Lord knows
the thoughts of the wise;
he knows they are worthless.
One: So don’t boast
about following a particular human leader.
For everything belongs to you—
whether Paul or Apollos or Peter,
or the world,
or life and death, or the present
and the future.
Two: Everything
belongs to you,
and you belong to Christ,
and Christ belongs to God.
