Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 Corinthians 3

2 Milk is fit for children. 3 Strife and division, arguments of a fleshly mind. 7 He that planteth, and he that watereth, is nothing. 9 The ministers are God's fellowworkmen. 11 Christ the only foundation. 16 Men the temples of God, which 17 must be kept holy. 19 The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

3:1 ¶ And 2532 I, 1473 brethren, 80 could 1410 z5675 not 3756 speak 2980 z5658 unto you 5213 as 5613 unto spiritual, 4152 but 235 as 5613 unto carnal, 4559 [even] as 5613 unto babes 3516 in 1722 Christ. 5547

3:2 I have fed 4222 z5656 you 5209 with milk, 1051 and 2532 not 3756 with meat: 1033 for 1063 hitherto y3768 z0 ye were y1410 z0 not y3768 able 1410 z5711 x3768 [to bear it], x235 neither 3777 y235 yet 2089 now 3568 are ye able. 1410 z5736

3:3 For 1063 ye are 2075 z5748 yet 2089 carnal: 4559 for 1063 whereas 3699 [there is] among 1722 you 5213 envying, 2205 and 2532 strife, 2054 and 2532 divisions, 1370 are x2075 ye y2075 z5748 not 3780 carnal, 4559 and 2532 walk 4043 z5719 as 2596 men? 444

3:4 For 1063 while 3752 one 5100 saith, 3004 z5725 I 1473 3303 am 1510 z5748 of Paul; 3972 and 1161 another, 2087 I 1473 [am] of Apollos; 625 are 2075 ye z5748 not 3780 carnal? 4559

3:5 Who 5101 then 3767 is 2076 z5748 Paul, 3972 and 1161 who 5101 [is] Apollos, 625 but 235 2228 ministers 1249 by 1223 whom 3739 ye believed, 4100 z5656 even 2532 as 5613 the x3588 Lord 2962 gave 1325 z5656 to every man? 1538

3:6 I 1473 have planted, 5452 z5656 Apollos 625 watered; 4222 z5656 but 235 God 2316 gave the increase. 837 z5707

3:7 So y5620 then x5620 neither 3777 is 2076 z5748 he that planteth 5452 z5723 any thing, 5100 neither 3777 he that watereth; 4222 z5723 but 235 God 2316 that giveth the increase. 837 z5723

3:8 Now 1161 he that planteth 5452 z5723 and 2532 he that watereth 4222 z5723 are 1526 z5748 one: 1520 and 1161 every man 1538 shall receive 2983 z5695 his own 2398 reward 3408 according 2596 to his own 2398 labour. 2873

3:9 For 1063 we are 2070 z5748 labourers together y4904 with x4904 God: 2316 ye are 2075 z5748 God's 2316 husbandry, 1091 [ye are] God's 2316 building. 3619

3:10 According 2596 to the x3588 grace 5485 of God 2316 which y3588 is given 1325 z5685 unto me, 3427 as 5613 a wise 4680 masterbuilder, 753 I have laid 5087 z5758 the foundation, 2310 and 1161 another 243 buildeth y2026 z5719 thereon. x2026 But 1161 let y991 z0 every man 1538 take heed 991 z5720 how 4459 he buildeth y2026 z5719 thereupon. x2026

3:11 For 1063 other 243 foundation 2310 can 1410 z5736 no man 3762 lay 5087 z5629 than 3844 that is laid, 2749 z5740 which 3739 is 2076 z5748 Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

3:12 Now 1161 if any man 1536 build 2026 z5719 upon 1909 this 5126 foundation 2310 gold, 5557 silver, 696 precious 5093 stones, 3037 wood, 3586 hay, 5528 stubble; 2562

3:13 Every man's 1538 work 2041 shall be made 1096 z5695 manifest: 5318 for 1063 the x3588 day 2250 shall declare 1213 z5692 it, because 3754 it shall be revealed 601 z5743 by 1722 fire; 4442 and 2532 the x3588 fire 4442 shall try 1381 z5692 every man's 1538 work 2041 of what sort 3697 it is. 2076 z5748

3:14 If any man's 1536 work 2041 abide 3306 z5719 z5692 which 3739 he hath built y2026 z5656 thereupon, x2026 he shall receive 2983 z5695 a reward. 3408

3:15 If any man's 1536 work 2041 shall be burned, 2618 z5691 he shall suffer loss: 2210 z5701 but 1161 he x848 himself y846 shall be saved; 4982 z5701 yet 1161 so 3779 as 5613 by 1223 fire. 4442

3:16 Know x1492 ye y1492 z5758 not 3756 that 3754 ye are 2075 z5748 the temple 3485 of God, 2316 and 2532 [that] the x3588 Spirit 4151 of God 2316 dwelleth 3611 z5719 in 1722 you? 5213

3:17 If any man 1536 defile 5351 z5719 the x3588 temple 3485 of God, 2316 him 5126 shall y5351 z0 God 2316 destroy; 5351 z5692 for 1063 the x3588 temple 3485 of God 2316 is 2076 z5748 holy, 40 which 3748 [temple] ye 5210 are. 2075 z5748

3:18 Let y1818 z0 no man 3367 deceive 1818 z5720 himself. 1438 If any man 1536 among 1722 you 5213 seemeth 1380 z5719 to be 1511 z5750 wise 4680 in 1722 this 5129 world, 165 let him become 1096 z5634 a fool, 3474 that 2443 he may be 1096 z5638 wise. 4680

3:19 For 1063 the x3588 wisdom 4678 of this 5127 world 2889 is 2076 z5748 foolishness 3472 with 3844 God. 2316 For 1063 it is written, 1125 z5769 He taketh 1405 z5740 the x3588 wise 4680 in 1722 their own y846 x848 craftiness. 3834

3:20 And 2532 again, 3825 The Lord 2962 knoweth 1097 z5719 the x3588 thoughts 1261 of the x3588 wise, 4680 that 3754 they are 1526 z5748 vain. 3152

3:21 Therefore 5620 let y2744 z0 no man 3367 glory 2744 z5737 in 1722 men. 444 For 1063 all things 3956 are 2076 z5748 yours; 5216

3:22 Whether 1535 Paul, 3972 or 1535 Apollos, 625 or 1535 Cephas, 2786 or 1535 the world, 2889 or 1535 life, 2222 or 1535 death, 2288 or 1535 things present, 1764 z5761 or 1535 things to come; 3195 z5723 all 3956 are 2076 z5748 yours; 5216
