12. If anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13. the work of each will come to light, for the Day will disclose it. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire [itself] will test the quality of each one’s work.
14. If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage.
15. But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only as through fire.
16. Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.
18. Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool so as to become wise.
19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written:“He catches the wise in their own ruses,”
20. and again:“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”
21. So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you,
22. Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or the present or the future: all belong to you,
23. and you to Christ, and Christ to God.
