1 Corinthians 3:13-17

Divisions in the Church

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.

¹⁶ _c Do you not know that you ₁ are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For _d God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
