11 The foundation has already been built. No one can build any other foundation. The foundation that has already been laid is Jesus Christ.
12 Anyone can build on that foundation, using gold, silver, jewels, wood, grass, or straw.
13 But the work that each person does will be clearly seen, because the Day will make it plain. That Day will appear with fire, and the fire will test every man’s work.
14 If the building that a man puts on the foundation still stands, he will get his reward.
15 But if his building is burned up, he will suffer loss. The man will be saved, but it will be as if he escaped from a fire.
16 You should know that you yourselves are God’s temple. God’s Spirit lives in you.
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him, because God’s temple is holy. You yourselves are God’s temple.
