1 Corinto 3

Ang Biblia (1978)

3 At ako, mga kapatid, ay hindi nakapagsalita sa inyo na tulad sa mga nasa ^(A)espiritu, kundi tulad sa mga nasa ^(B)laman, tulad sa ^(C)mga sanggol kay Cristo.

²Kinandili ko kayo ng ^(D)gatas, at hindi ng lamang-kati; ^(E)sapagka't kayo'y wala pang kaya noon: wala, na ngayon pa man ay wala kayong kaya;

³Sapagka't kayo'y mga sa laman pa: sapagka't samantalang sa inyo'y may mga paninibugho at ^(F)mga pagtatalo, hindi baga kayo'y mga sa laman, at kayo'y nagsisilakad ayon sa kaugalian ng mga tao?

⁴Sapagka't kung sinasabi ng isa, ^(G)Ako'y kay Pablo; at ng iba, ^(H)Ako'y kay Apolos; hindi baga kayo'y mga tao?

⁵Ano nga si Apolos? at Ano si Pablo? ^(I)Mga ministro na sa pamamagitan nila ay nagsisampalataya kayo; at sa bawa't isa ^(J)ayon sa ipinagkaloob ng Panginoon ^(K)sa kaniya.

⁶Ako ang ^(L)nagtanim, ^(M)si Apolos ang nagdilig; ^(N)nguni't ang Dios ang siyang nagpalago.

⁷Ano pa't walang anoman ang nagtatanim, ni ang nagdidilig; kundi ang Dios na nagpapalago.

⁸Ngayon ang nagtatanim at ang nagdidilig ay iisa: nguni't ang ^(O)bawa't isa ay tatanggap ng kaniyang sariling kagantihan ayon sa kaniyang sariling pagpapagal.

⁹Sapagka't ^(P)tayo ay mga kamanggagawa ng Dios: kayo ang bukid ng Dios, ^(Q)ang gusali ng Dios.

¹⁰Ayon sa biyaya ng Dios na ibinigay sa akin, na tulad sa matalinong tagapagtayo ay inilagay ko ang pinagsasaligan; at iba ang nagtatayo sa ibabaw nito. Nguni't ingatan ng bawa't tao kung paano ang pagtatayo niya sa ibabaw nito.

¹¹Sapagka't sinoman ay hindi makapaglalagay ng ibang pinagsasaligan, kundi ang nalalagay na, ^(R)na ito'y si Cristo Jesus.

¹²Datapuwa't kung ang sinoma'y magtatayo sa ibabaw ng pinagsasaligang ito ng ginto, pilak, mga mahahalagang bato, kahoy, tuyong dayami;

¹³Ang gawa ^(S)ng bawa't isa ay mahahayag: sapagka't ^(T)ang araw ^(U)ang magsasaysay, sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng apoy inihahayag; at ang apoy rin ang susubok sa gawa ng bawa't isa kung ano yaon.

¹⁴Kung ang gawa ng sinoman ay manatili, na kaniyang itinayo sa ibabaw niyaon, siya'y tatanggap ng kagantihan.

¹⁵Kung ang gawa ng sinoman ay masunog, ^(V)ay malulugi siya: nguni't siya sa kaniyang sarili ay maliligtas; gayon ma'y ^(W)tulad sa pamamagitan ng apoy.

¹⁶Hindi baga ninyo nalalaman ^(X)na kayo'y templo ng Dios, at ^(Y)ang Espiritu ng Dios ay nananahan sa inyo?

¹⁷Kung gibain ng sinoman ang templo ng Dios, siya'y igigiba ng Dios; sapagka't ang templo ng Dios ay banal, na ang templong ito ay kayo.

¹⁸Sinoma'y huwag ^(Z)magdaya sa kaniyang sarili. ^(AA)Kung ang sinoman sa inyo ay nagiisip na siya'y marunong sa kapanahunang ^(AB)ito, ay magpakamangmang siya, upang siya ang maging marunong.

¹⁹Sapagka't ang ^(AC)karunungan ng sanglibutang ito ay kamangmangan sa Dios. Sapagka't nasusulat, ^(AD)Hinuhuli niya ang marurunong sa kanilang katusuhan:

²⁰At muli, ^(AE)Nalalaman ng Panginoon ang pangangatuwiran ng marurunong, na pawang walang kabuluhan.

²¹Kaya't ^(AF)huwag ipagmamapuri ninoman sa mga tao, Sapagka't ang lahat ng mga bagay ay sa inyo.

²²Kahit si Pablo, kahit si Apolos, kahit si ^(AG)Cefas, kahit ang sanglibutan, kahit ang buhay, kahit ang kamatayan, kahit ^(AH)ang mga bagay na kasalukuyan, kahit ang mga bagay na darating; ^(AI)lahat ay sa inyo:

²³At ^(AJ)kayo'y kay Cristo; at si Cristo ay sa Dios.

1 Corinthians 3

King James Version

3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

²I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

³For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

⁴For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

⁵Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

⁶I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

⁷So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

⁸Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

⁹For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

¹⁰According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

¹¹For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹²Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

¹³Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

¹⁴If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

¹⁵If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

¹⁶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

¹⁷If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

¹⁸Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

²⁰And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

²¹Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

²²Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

²³And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

1 Corinthians 3

New International Version

The Church and Its Leaders

3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit^(A) but as people who are still worldly^(B)—mere infants^(C) in Christ. ²I gave you milk, not solid food,^(D) for you were not yet ready for it.^(E) Indeed, you are still not ready. ³You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling^(F) among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? ⁴For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,”^(G) are you not mere human beings?

⁵What, after all, is Apollos?^(H) And what is Paul? Only servants,^(I) through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. ⁶I planted the seed,^(J) Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. ⁷So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. ⁸The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.^(K) ⁹For we are co-workers in God’s service;^(L) you are God’s field,^(M) God’s building.^(N)

¹⁰By the grace God has given me,^(O) I laid a foundation^(P) as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. ¹¹For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.^(Q) ¹²If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, ¹³their work will be shown for what it is,^(R) because the Day^(S) will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.^(T) ¹⁴If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.^(U) ¹⁵If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.^(V)

¹⁶Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple^(W) and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?^(X) ¹⁷If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

¹⁸Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise^(Y) by the standards of this age,^(Z) you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness^(AA) in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”^[a];^(AB) ²⁰and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”^[b]^(AC) ²¹So then, no more boasting about human leaders!^(AD) All things are yours,^(AE) ²²whether Paul or Apollos^(AF) or Cephas^[c]^(AG) or the world or life or death or the present or the future^(AH)—all are yours, ²³and you are of Christ,^(AI) and Christ is of God.

Divisions in the Church

3 But I, brothers,^[a] could not address you as ^(A)spiritual people, but as ^(B)people of the flesh, as ^(C)infants in Christ. ²^(D)I fed you with milk, not solid food, for ^(E)you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, ³for you are still of the flesh. For while there is ^(F)jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? ⁴For ^(G)when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” ^(H)are you not being merely human?

⁵What then is Apollos? What is Paul? ^(I)Servants through whom you believed, ^(J)as the Lord assigned to each. ⁶^(K)I planted, ^(L)Apollos watered, ^(M)but God gave the growth. ⁷So ^(N)neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. ⁸He who plants and he who waters are one, and each ^(O)will receive his wages according to his labor. ⁹For we are ^(P)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, ^(Q)God's building.

¹⁰^(R)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled^[b] master builder I laid a ^(S)foundation, and ^(T)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. ¹¹For no one can lay a ^(U)foundation other ^(V)than that which is laid, ^(W)which is Jesus Christ. ¹²Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— ¹³^(X)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^(Y)by fire, and ^(Z)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. ¹⁴If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^(AA)he will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^(AB)but only as through fire.

¹⁶^(AC)Do you not know that you^[c] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For ^(AD)God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

¹⁸^(AE)Let no one deceive himself. ^(AF)If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. ¹⁹For ^(AG)the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, ^(AH)“He catches the wise in their craftiness,” ²⁰and again, ^(AI)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ²¹So ^(AJ)let no one boast in men. For ^(AK)all things are yours, ²²whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³and ^(AL)you are Christ's, and ^(AM)Christ is God's.

Sectarianism Is Carnal

3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to ^(A)babes in Christ. ²I fed you with ^(B)milk and not with solid food; ^(C)for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; ³for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and ^[a]behaving like mere men? ⁴For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

Watering, Working, Warning

⁵Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ^(D)ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? ⁶^(E)I planted, ^(F)Apollos watered, ^(G)but God gave the increase. ⁷So then ^(H)neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. ⁸Now he who plants and he who waters are one, ^(I)and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

⁹For ^(J)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are ^(K)God’s building. ¹⁰^(L)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid ^(M)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. ¹¹For no other foundation can anyone lay than ^(N)that which is laid, ^(O)which is Jesus Christ. ¹²Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³each one’s work will become clear; for the Day ^(P)will declare it, because ^(Q)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. ¹⁴If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

¹⁶^(R)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷If anyone ^[b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Avoid Worldly Wisdom

¹⁸^(S)Let 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. ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ^(T)“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; ²⁰and again, ^(U)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ²¹Therefore let no one boast in men. For ^(V)all things are yours: ²²whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. ²³And ^(W)you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
