   12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious   
   stones, wood, hay, stubble;   
      
   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 yours;   
      
   22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death,   
   or things present, or things to come; all are yours;   
      
   23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.   
      
   1 Corinthians Chapter 4   
      
   1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and   
   stewards of the mysteries of God.   
      
   2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.   
      
   3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you,   
   or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.   
      
   4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he   
   that judgeth me is the Lord.   
      
   5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both   
   will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make   
   manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have   
   praise of God.   
      
   6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself   
   and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of   
   men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one   
   against another.   
      
   7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that   
   thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou   
   glory, as if thou hadst not received it?   
      
   8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us:   
   and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.   
      
   9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were   
   appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to   
   angels, and to men.   
      
   10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are   
   weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.   
      
   11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are   
   naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;   
      
   12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless;   
   being persecuted, we suffer it:   
      
   13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and   
   are the offscouring of all things unto this day.   
      
   14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.   
      
   15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye   
   not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the   
   gospel.   
      
   16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.   
      
   17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son,   
   and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my   
   ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.   
      
   18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.   
      
   19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not   
   the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.   
      
   20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.   
      
   21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in   
   the spirit of meekness?
