1 Co. 3:9‑15• 9Porque nosotros, coadjutores somos de Dios; y vosotros labranza de Dios sois, edificio de Dios sois.
10Conforme á la gracia de Dios que me ha sido dada, yo como perito arquitecto puse el fundamento, y otro edifica encima: empero cada uno vea cómo sobreedifica.
11Porque nadie puede poner otro fundamento que el que está puesto, el cual es Jesucristo.
12Y si alguno edificare sobre este fundamento oro, plata, piedras preciosas, madera, heno, hojarasca;
13La obra de cada uno será manifestada: porque el día la declarará; porque por el fuego será manifestada; y la obra de cada uno cuál sea, el fuego hará la prueba.
14Si permaneciere la obra de alguno que sobreedificó, recibirá recompensa.
15Si la obra de alguno fuere quemada, será perdida: él empero será salvo, mas así como por fuego.

15No gloriándonos fuera de nuestra medida en trabajos ajenos; mas teniendo esperanza del crecimiento de vuestra fe, que seremos muy engrandecidos entre vosotros, conforme á nuestra regla.
