1 Corinthians

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man"s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

And ye are Christ"s; and Christ is God"s.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your"s;

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your"s;

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

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.

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man"s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

If any man"s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

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.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God"s husbandry, ye are God"s building.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

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.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
