r since there are among you envy, and strife,
and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as _other_ men? (4)For when
one saith, I am indeed of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye
not carnal? (5)Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but the ministers
through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each _of us_? (6)I
have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (7)So then
neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God
who giveth the increase. (8)Now he that planteth and he that watereth
are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his
own labour. (9)For we are God's fellowlabourers: ye are God's
husbandry, ye are God's building.

(10)According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful
architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.
But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it. (11)For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the
Messiah. (12)But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver,
precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble; (13)every man's work shall be
made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open
by fire; and the fire shall prove every man's work of what sort it is.
(14)If any man's work which he hath built abide _the trial_, he shall
receive a reward. (15)If any man's work be burnt up, he shall suffer
loss: but himself shall be saved; yet so as through the fire.

(16)Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you? (17)If any man prophane the temple of God, him
will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

(18)Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinketh himself a
wise man in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
(19)For the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God. For it
is written, "He entangleth the wise in their own craftiness[90]."
(20)And again[91], "The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that
they are futile." (21)Wherefore let no man glory in men. For all things
are your's; (22)whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are
your's; (23)and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

CHAP. IV.

LET a man so account of us, as the under servants of Christ, and
stewards of the mysteries of God. (2)Moreover it is expected of
stewards, that a man be found faithful. (3)But it
