Compare all
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.

1 Corinthians 3:10

I Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given to me. Given when? When he was called to be an apostle. I have laid the foundation. The figure of the building is retained. Paul is a discreet master-builder. He had laid the foundation at Corinth, when he was preaching Christ, and working through faith in him (I Corinthians 2:4). Notice it is not "a foundation", but "the foundation", because God's spiritual temple can have only one (I Corinthians 3:16). Another buildeth thereon. After Paul left Corinth, Apollos and other teachers continued to build upon the foundation that Paul had laid. Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. Since there is only one foundation of the temple, viz.: Jesus Christ, there should be most careful and conscientious building upon it (I Corinthians 3:12).
