1 Corinthians 3:11

9 For ^awe are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are ^bGod’s building.

10 ^aAccording to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid ^bthe foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than ^athat which is laid, ^bwhich is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day ^awill declare it, because ^bit will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 ^aDo you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 3:11

I Corinthians 3:11 Other foundation can no man lay, etc. There is only one foundation of the church (Matthew 16:16). This foundation-stone was laid by God (Isaiah 28:16). Paul's work under God was to point to this foundation, to induce them to believe, and thus to build them upon it. His preaching laid it in their hearts. To preach Christ is to preach the fundamental or foundation truth of the church.
