New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
11 The foundation that has already been laid is Jesus Christ, and no one can lay down any other foundation.
11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 But if people build on that foundation, using gold, silver, jewels, wood, grass, or straw,
12
If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
13 their work will be clearly seen, because the Day of Judgmentn will make it visible. That Day will appear with fire, and the fire will test everyone's work to show what sort of work it was.
13
their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.
14 If the building that has been put on the foundation still stands, the builder will get a reward.
14
If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.
