1 Corinthians 3:11-15 After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that is Jesus the Messiah.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that is Jesus the Messiah. ¹² Whether a person builds on this foundation with gold, silver, expensive stones, wood, hay, or straw, ¹³ the workmanship of each person will become evident, for the day of judgment will show what it is, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s action. ¹⁴ If what a person has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If his work is burned up, he will suffer loss. However, he himself will be saved, but it will be like going through fire.
