1 Corinthians 3:6-16

6 I planted, and Apollos watered, but God made it grow.
7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is important because [only] God makes it grow.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters have the same goal, and each will receive a reward for his own work.
9 We are God's coworkers. You are God's field. You are God's building.
10 As a skilled and experienced builder, I used the gift that God gave me to lay the foundation [for that building]. However, someone else is building on it. Each person must be careful how he builds on it.
11 After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that foundation is Jesus Christ.
12 People may build on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw.
13 The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done.
14 If what a person has built survives, he will receive a reward.
15 If his work is burned up, he will suffer [the loss]. However, he will be saved, though it will be like going through a fire.
16 Don't you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
