v. 10-11 Exposition : Paul turns now to the leaders, giving them more direct instruction how they should lead. 10a-d Paul's job was to lay a foundation, which he did in the manner of a master builder (engineer, architect). But it was not as the master builders of Corinth would do it, with strict training and fine skill, but only by the grace of God given to Him. 10e-11 Others are now ready to build on that foundation; the Church in Corinth was finding its own leaders. Paul is not against this in any way, but he cautions them to build on the existing foundation, not to start a new one, and to build in the same manner as the existing foundation was built: by, through and for Jesus Christ. Application : The way that we "do church" in this country is changing at an incredible speed. I'm not talking so much about the outward look (dress codes, buildings, music), but rather the underlying presuppositions -- the "foundation" -- under these churches. Secular business, sociology and arts can all be tools used by the builder, but if they weave their way into the foundation -- it they begin to supplant the Gospel, then the warnings of the next section are timely. 12-15 Exposition : Even when t he church is built on the right foundation, the introduction of worldly ideas and ways will compromise its integrity and lead to failure under pressure. 12-13 There are many ways to build a church, some better than others. Some suggest that some of these (e.g.: Gold, sliver, precious stones) represent ways appropriate to the foundation while the others are inappropriate. I suspect that Paul's point is that whatever is used will tested. 14-15 There are two possible outcomes of the test: Either the work will stand and the worker will be rewarded, or the work will burn and the worker will survive, but. we might say, by the skin of his teeth, having lost all but his own life. Application : It's been said that there are only two things in the world that will last forever: The Word of God and the souls of people. As leaders, it is our responsibility to connect these two things. We must do so with great care, using every tool at our disposal, but, above all, using the tool of God's Word to change people. If we don't our work will be meaningless and will be burned up as so much trash, and we will barely make it out alive. 16-17 Exposition : These verse offer a ground, or a reason, why the means employed by the builder/leader of a church are so important: They deal with the souls of people, and people, once they have received the Grace of Christ, are the "temple of God." Application : How urgent it is that we do church right. This doesn't mean that we should be "conservative" in the traditional sense of the word, as some "old fashioned" ways of doing church draw as much on 1940's (and prior) liberalism as current trends draw on current postmodernism. The church must stop drawing on culture, and start leading it. We must only draw on Christ. (The matter of contextualization notwithstanding -- but that is left for a different study.)

Κατὰ τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι

According to the grace of God which was given to me,

ὡς σοφὸς ἀρχιτέκτων

like a wise master builder

θεμέλιον ἔθηκα,

I laid a foundation,

actionmanner

ἄλλος δὲ ἐποικοδομεῖ.

and another is building on it.

ἕκαστος δὲ βλεπέτω πῶς ἐποικοδομεῖ·

But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

θεμέλιον γὰρ ἄλλον οὐδεὶς δύναται θεῖναι παρὰ τὸν κείμενον,

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid,

ὅς ἐστιν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός.

which is Jesus Christ.

εἰ δέ τις ἐποικοδομεῖ ἐπὶ τὸν θεμέλιον χρυσίον, ἀργύριον, λίθους τιμίους, ξύλα, χόρτον, καλάμην,

Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον φανερὸν γενήσεται,

each man's work will become evident;

ἡ γὰρ ἡμέρα δηλώσει·

for the day will show it

ὅτι ἐν πυρὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται,

because it is to be revealed with fire,

καὶ ἑκάστου τὸ ἔργον ὁποῖόν ἐστιν τὸ πῦρ αὐτὸ δοκιμάσει.

and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

conditional

εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον μενεῖ ὃ ἐποικοδόμησεν,

If any man's work which he has built on it remains,

μισθὸν λήμψεται·

he will receive a reward.

εἴ τινος τὸ ἔργον κατακαήσεται,

If any man's work is burned up,

ζημιωθήσεται,

he will suffer loss;

αὐτὸς δὲ σωθήσεται,

but he himself will be saved,

οὕτως δὲ ὡς διὰ πυρός.

yet so as through fire.

Οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ναὸς θεοῦ ἐστε

Do you not know that you are a temple of God

καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν;

and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

εἴ τις τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φθείρει,

If any man destroys the temple of God,

φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ θεός·

God will destroy him,

ὁ γὰρ ναὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἅγιός ἐστιν,

for the temple of God is holy,

οἵτινές ἐστε ὑμεῖς.

and that is what you are.
