1 Corinthians 3:5
Compare all
3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and1 behaving like mere men?  
4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

Watering, Working, Warning

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but aministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?  
6 aI planted, bApollos watered, cbut God gave the increase.  
7 So then aneither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.  
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, aand each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.  
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?  
17 If anyone1 defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.  

Avoid Worldly Wisdom

18 aLet no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.  
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, a“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;
