1 Corinthians, 3

1. And so, brothers, I was not able to talk to you as spiritual people; I had to talk to you as people still living by your natural inclinations, still infants in Christ;

1. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.

2. I fed you with milk and not solid food, for you were not yet able to take it -- and even now, you are still not able to,

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 you are still living by your natural inclinations. As long as there are jealousy and rivalry among you, that surely means that you are still living by your natural inclinations and by merely human principles.

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. While there is one that says, 'I belong to Paul' and another that says, 'I belong to Apollos' are you not being only too human?

4. For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5. For what is Apollos and what is Paul? The servants through whom you came to believe, and each has only what the Lord has given him.

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 did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave growth.

6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7. In this, neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything; only God, who gives growth.

7. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8. It is all one who does the planting and who does the watering, and each will have the proper pay for the work that he has done.

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. After all, we do share in God's work; you are God's farm, God's building.

9. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.

10. By the grace of God which was given to me, I laid the foundations like a trained master-builder, and someone else is building on them. Now each one must be careful how he does the 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 nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already, namely Jesus Christ.

11. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12. On this foundation, different people may build in gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw

12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13. but each person's handiwork will be shown for what it is. The Day which dawns in fire will make it clear and the fire itself will test the quality of each person's work.

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. The one whose work stands up to it will be given his wages;

14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15. the one whose work is burnt down will suffer the loss of it, though he himself will be saved; he will be saved as someone might expect to be saved from a fire.

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. Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you?

16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17. If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God's temple is holy; and you are that temple.

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. There is no room for self-delusion. Any one of you who thinks he is wise by worldly standards must learn to be a fool in order to be really wise.

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 the world is folly to God. As scripture says: He traps the crafty in the snare of their own cunning

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 knows the plans of the wise and how insipid they are.

20. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

21. So there is to be no boasting about human beings: everything belongs to you,

21. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

22. whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, the world, life or death, the present or the future -- all belong to you;

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. but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.

23. And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.

Lábjegyzetek:

3:1-4 - Paul rebukes the Corinthians for their spiritual immaturity, revealed by divisions and rivalry among followers of different leaders. True wisdom comes from God, not from human leaders (see also Hebrews 5:12-14 and 1 Peter 2:2).

3:5-9 - Paul and Apollos are simply God's servants, working together to build up the church. The real work of building the church is done by God, and human servants are instruments in His hands (see also Matthew 13:23 and John 4:37-38).

3:10-15 - The quality of every believer's work will be tested by fire on the Day of the Lord. The foundation is Christ, and all believers must build on this foundation with materials that stand up to judgment (see also 1 Peter 1:7 and Luke 6:48-49).

3:16-17 - The body of believers is God's temple, and the Holy Spirit dwells in it. Care and respect for this temple are fundamental to the holiness and purity of the church (see also 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and 2 Corinthians 6:16).

Kapcsolódó versek 1 Corinthians, 3:

1 Corinthians chapter 3 addresses spiritual immaturity and true ministry. How to grow in Christ? Paul criticizes divisions in the church, comparing believers to spiritual babies. He uses agricultural and architectural metaphors to illustrate ministry, emphasizing that God gives growth. The text also warns about the responsibility of leaders and the importance of building on the correct foundation: Christ. Consider with us five biblical passages that elucidate the key principles of this instructive chapter.

Hebrews 5:12-13: "Although you should be teachers by now, you need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God's word. They ended up needing milk, not solid food!" - It relates to 1 Corinthians 3:1-2, about spiritual immaturity and the need for spiritual "milk."

1 Peter 2:5: "You also, like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." - Complements 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, about believers as God's building.

James 3:1: "My brothers, do not let too many of you be teachers, for you know that we who teach will be judged more rigorously." - It relates to 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, about the responsibility of spiritual leaders.

Ephesians 2:20-22: "Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone, in whom the entire building is fitted together and grows to become a holy sanctuary in the Lord." - Expands the concept of 1 Corinthians 3:11 about Christ as the only foundation.

Romans 8:9: "But you are not under the dominion of the flesh, but of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ." - It relates to 1 Corinthians 3:16, about believers as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
