1 Corinthians Chapter 3 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians Chapter 3 (New Testament)
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According 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.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1 Corinthians Chapter 3 (New Testament)
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.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let 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.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Quote: "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 3:11
Verse: "For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building." - 1 Corinthians 3:9
Lesson: In Chapter 3, Paul emphasizes the importance of building our lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ. We are God's fellow workers, and our lives should be built on the solid foundation of faith in Christ. We must be careful not to build on any other foundation, as it will ultimately crumble.
Conclusion: We should strive to build our lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ, trusting in Him as the cornerstone of our faith. We must be careful not to place our trust in anything else, as it will ultimately lead to disappointment and destruction.
Prayer Points: Dear Lord, help us to build our lives on the solid foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. Grant us the wisdom and strength to resist the temptation to trust in anything else, and help us to be faithful workers in your kingdom.
