Bible. Corinthians, 1st
but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things
with spiritual things.
002:014 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit,
for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
002:015 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself
is judged by no one.
002:016 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct
him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.
003:001 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly,
as to babies in Christ.
003:002 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready.
Indeed, not even now are you ready,
003:003 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy,
strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't
you walk in the ways of men?
003:004 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos,"
aren't you fleshly?
003:005 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom
you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?
003:006 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
003:007 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters,
but God who gives the increase.
003:008 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each
will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
003:009 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming,
God's building.
003:010 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise
master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it.
But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
003:011 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has
been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
003:012 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver,
costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;
003:013 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it,
because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test
what sort of work each man's work is.
003:014 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will
receive a reward.
003:015 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself
will be saved, but as through fire.
003:016 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit
lives in you?
003:017 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him;
for God's temple is holy, which you are.
003:018 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is
wise among you in this world, let him become a fool,
that he may become wise.
003:019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it
is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."{Job 5:13}
003:020 And again, "The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it
is worthless."{Psalm 94:11}
