⁹ For we are God’s ^(A)fellow workers; you are God’s ^[a](B)field, God’s ^(C)building.

¹⁰ According to ^(D)the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder ^(E)I laid a foundation, and ^(F)another is building on it. But each person must be careful how he builds on it. ¹¹ For no one can lay a ^(G)foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, ^13 (H)each one’s work will become evident; for ^(I)the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test ^[b]the quality of each one’s work. ¹⁴ If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will ^(J)receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only ^(K)so as through fire.

^16 (L)Do you not know that ^(M)you are a ^[c]temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys the ^[d]temple of God, God will destroy ^[e]that person; for the ^[f]temple of God is holy, ^[g]and that is what you are.
