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.

God’s Fellow Workers
(Hebrews 5:11–14)
1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ. 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready, 3for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? 4For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role. 6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose,#3:8 Literally are one and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. 9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Christ Our Foundation
(Isaiah 28:14–22; Ephesians 2:19–22; 1 Peter 2:1–8)
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 14If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
God’s Temple and God’s Wisdom
(Romans 12:1–8; 1 Corinthians 6:18–20)
16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in #3:16 Or among you? 17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”#3:19 Job 5:13 20And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”#3:20 Psalms 94:11
21Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas #3:22 That is, Peter or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you, 23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
