1. Ministers Are Co-labourers with God..................... 3:5-17 1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.1Co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.1Co 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.1Co 3:10 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.1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;1Co 3:13 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.1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. |
