¹⁰rAccording to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled2 master builder I laid a sfoundation, and tsomeone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. ¹¹For no one can lay a ufoundation other vthan that which is laid, wwhich is Jesus Christ. ¹²Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— ¹³xeach one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed yby fire, and zthe fire will test what sort of work each one has done. ¹⁴If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ahe will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, bbut only as through fire.

¹⁶cDo you not know that you3 are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For dGod's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
