1st Corinthians — 3
Shaul and Apollos, Servants of YAHUSHA
1 Dear Achks (brothers) and Achutys (sisters), when I was with you I could not talk to you as I would talk to people who are Mindful of the RUACH. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Ha'Mashyach.
2 I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you were not ready for anything stronger. And you still are not ready,
3 For you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Does that not prove that you are controlled by your sinful nature? Are you not living like people of the world?
4 When one of you says, “I am a follower of Shaul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” are you not acting just like people of the world?
5 After all, who is Apollos? Who is Shaul? We are only the servants of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH through whom you believed the Basurah (Good News). Each of us did the work 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave us.
6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who made it grow.
7 It is not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What is more important is that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH makes the seed grow.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.
9 For we are both the workers of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. And you are the field of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and You are also the building of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
10 Because of the favor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than the one we already have which is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach.
12 Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials, gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw.
13 But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if each of our work has any value.
14 If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward.
15 But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
16 Do you not realize that all of you together are the Haykal (Temple) of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and that the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH lives in you?
17 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will destroy anyone who destroys this Temple. For the Temple of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is Qadash, and you are that Temple.
18 Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. As the Scriptures say, “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”
20 And again, “𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH knows the thoughts of the wise; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH knows they are worthless.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:
22 whether Shaul or Apollos or Kafa, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you,
23 And you belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA belongs to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
