1 Corinthians 3:9-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For we are God's coadjutors: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

¹¹ For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.

¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:

¹³ Every man's work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is.

¹⁴ If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

¹⁵ If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

¹⁶ Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁷ But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.
