1 Corinthians 3:12-15

Divisions in the Church

12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw - 13 x each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed y by fire, and z the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, a he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, b but only as through fire.
