But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon. ^10 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ^11 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ^12 13 Every 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. ^13 14 If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. ^14 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. ^15 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and _that_ the Spirit of God dwells in you? ^16 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which _temple_ ye are. ^17 18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. ^18 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness. ^19 20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. ^20 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; ^21 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; ^22 23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ _is_ God's. ^23
