3:1 And 2532 I 1473, brethren 80, could 1410 5675 not 3756 speak 2980 5658 unto you 5213 as 5613 unto spiritual 4152, but 235 as 5613 unto carnal 4559, [even] as 5613 unto babes 3516 in 1722 Christ 5547.

3:2 I have fed 4222 5656 you 5209 with milk 1051, and 2532 not 3756 with meat 1033: for 1063 hitherto 3768 0 ye were 1410 0 not 3768 able 1410 5711 [to bear it], neither 235 3777 yet 2089 now 3568 are ye able 1410 5736.

3:3 For 1063 ye are 2075 5748 yet 2089 carnal 4559: for 1063 whereas 3699 [there is] among 1722 you 5213 envying 2205, and 2532 strife 2054, and 2532 divisions 1370, are ye 2075 5748 not 3780 carnal 4559, and 2532 walk 4043 5719 as 2596 men 444?(divisions: or, factions)(as men: Gr. according to man?)

3:4 For 1063 while 3752 one 5100 saith 3004 5725, I 1473 3303 am 1510 5748 of Paul 3972; and 1161 another 2087, I 1473 [am] of Apollos 625; are 2075 ye 5748 not 3780 carnal 4559?

3:5 Who 5101 then 3767 is 2076 5748 Paul 3972, and 1161 who 5101 [is] Apollos 625, but 235 2228 ministers 1249 by 1223 whom 3739 ye believed 4100 5656, even 2532 as 5613 the Lord 2962 gave 1325 5656 to every man 1538?

3:6 I 1473 have planted 5452 5656, Apollos 625 watered 4222 5656; but 235 God 2316 gave the increase 837 5707.

3:7 So 5620 then neither 3777 is 2076 5748 he that planteth 5452 5723 any thing 5100, neither 3777 he that watereth 4222 5723; but 235 God 2316 that giveth the increase 837 5723.

3:8 Now 1161 he that planteth 5452 5723 and 2532 he that watereth 4222 5723 are 1526 5748 one 1520: and 1161 every man 1538 shall receive 2983 5695 his own 2398 reward 3408 according 2596 to his own 2398 labour 2873.

3:9 For 1063 we are 2070 5748 labourers together 4904 with God 2316: ye are 2075 5748 God's 2316 husbandry 1091, [ye are] God's 2316 building 3619.(husbandry: or, tillage)

3:10 According 2596 to the grace 5485 of God 2316 which 3588 is given 1325 5685 unto me 3427, as 5613 a wise 4680 masterbuilder 753, I have laid 5087 5758 the foundation 2310, and 1161 another 243 buildeth 2026 5719 thereon. But 1161 let 991 0 every man 1538 take heed 991 5720 how 4459 he buildeth 2026 5719 thereupon.

3:11 For 1063 other 243 foundation 2310 can 1410 5736 no man 3762 lay 5087 5629 than 3844 that is laid 2749 5740, which 3739 is 2076 5748 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.

3:12 Now 1161 if any man 1536 build 2026 5719 upon 1909 this 5126 foundation 2310 gold 5557, silver 696, precious 5093 stones 3037, wood 3586, hay 5528, stubble 2562;

3:13 Every man's 1538 work 2041 shall be made 1096 5695 manifest 5318: for 1063 the day 2250 shall declare 1213 5692 it, because 3754 it shall be revealed 601 5743 by 1722 fire 4442; and 2532 the fire 4442 shall try 1381 5692 every man's 1538 work 2041 of what sort 3697 it is 2076 5748.(it shall be: Gr. it is)

3:14 If any man's 1536 work 2041 abide 3306 5719 which 3739 he hath built 2026 5656 thereupon, he shall receive 2983 5695 a reward 3408.

3:15 If any man's 1536 work 2041 shall be burned 2618 5691, he shall suffer loss 2210 5701: but 1161 he himself 846 shall be saved 4982 5701; yet 1161 so 3779 as 5613 by 1223 fire 4442.

3:16 Know ye 1492 5758 not 3756 that 3754 ye are 2075 5748 the temple 3485 of God 2316, and 2532 [that] the Spirit 4151 of God 2316 dwelleth 3611 5719 in 1722 you 5213?

3:17 If any man 1536 defile 5351 5719 the temple 3485 of God 2316, him 5126 shall 5351 0 God 2316 destroy 5351 5692; for 1063 the temple 3485 of God 2316 is 2076 5748 holy 40, which 3748 [temple] ye 5210 are 2075 5748.(defile: or, destroy)

3:18 Let 1818 0 no man 3367 deceive 1818 5720 himself 1438. If any man 1536 among 1722 you 5213 seemeth 1380 5719 to be 1511 5750 wise 4680 in 1722 this 5129 world 165, let him become 1096 5634 a fool 3474, that 2443 he may be 1096 5638 wise 4680.

3:19 For 1063 the wisdom 4678 of this 5127 world 2889 is 2076 5748 foolishness 3472 with 3844 God 2316. For 1063 it is written 1125 5769, He taketh 1405 5740 the wise 4680 in 1722 their own 846 craftiness 3834.

3:20 And 2532 again 3825, The Lord 2962 knoweth 1097 5719 the thoughts 1261 of the wise 4680, that 3754 they are 1526 5748 vain 3152.

3:21 Therefore 5620 let 2744 0 no man 3367 glory 2744 5737 in 1722 men 444. For 1063 all things 3956 are 2076 5748 yours 5216;

3:22 Whether 1535 Paul 3972, or 1535 Apollos 625, or 1535 Cephas 2786, or 1535 the world 2889, or 1535 life 2222, or 1535 death 2288, or 1535 things present 1764 5761, or 1535 things to come 3195 5723; all 3956 are 2076 5748 yours 5216;

3:23 And 1161 ye 5210 are Christ's 5547; and 1161 Christ 5547 [is] God's 2316.
