1 Corinthians 3:8

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?
