1 Corinthians 3

Rom 7.14; Heb 5.13. But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ. 2#Heb 5.12-13; 1 Pet 2.2. I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready, 3for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men? 4#1 Cor 1.12. For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely men?

2 Cor 6.4; Eph 3.7; Col 1.25. What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6#Acts 18.4-11,24-27; 1 Cor 1.12. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor. 9#Is 61.3; Eph 2.20-22; 1 Pet 2.5. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

Rom 12.3; 1 Cor 15.10. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. 11#Eph 2.20. For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13#2 Thess 1.7-10. each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15#Job 23.10. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
16 #
1 Cor 6.19; 2 Cor 6.16. Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are.

Is 5.21; 1 Cor 8.2; Gal 6.3. Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19#Job 5.13; 1 Cor 1.20. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20#Ps 94.11. and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” 21#1 Cor 4.6; Rom 8.32. So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, 22#1 Cor 1.12; Rom 8.38. whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; 23and you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 3
3
1And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual ones but as to fleshly, as to babes in Messiah.
2I fed you with milk and not with solid food, for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able,
3for you are still fleshly. For since there is envy, and strife, and divisions among you, are you not fleshly and walking according to man?
4For when one says, “I am of Sha’ul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?
5What then is Apollos, and what is Sha’ul, but servants through whom you believed, as the Master assigned to each?
6I planted, Apollos watered, but Elohim was giving growth.
7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is any at all, but Elohim who gives the increase.
8And he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9For we are fellow workers of Elohim, you are the field of Elohim, the building of Elohim.
10According to the favour of Elohim which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But each one should look how he builds on it.
11For no one is able to lay any other foundation except that which is laid, which is יהושע Messiah.
12And if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13each one’s work shall be revealed, for the day shall show it up, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire shall prove the work of each one, what sort it is.
14If anyone’s work remains, which he has built on, he shall receive a reward.
15If anyone’s work is burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.
16Do you not know that you are a Dwelling Place of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you?
17If anyone destroys the Dwelling Place of Elohim, Elohim shall destroy him. For the Dwelling Place of Elohim is set-apart, which you are.
18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he might become wise.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with Elohim. For it has been written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”# Job 5:13
20and again, “יהוה knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are worthless.”# Psa. 94:11
21So then, let no one boast in men, for all belongs to you,
22whether Sha’ul or Apollos or Kĕpha, or the world, or life, or death, or the present or the future – all belongs to you.
23And you belong to Messiah, and Messiah belongs to Elohim.
