1 Corinthians 3:6-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.

7. Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth.

8. The one who plants and the one who waters are equal, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor.

9. For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10. According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it,

11. for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ.

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?
