1. My friends, you are acting like the people of this world. That's why I could not speak to you as spiritual people. You are like babies as far as your faith in Christ is concerned.
10. God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build,
11. because Christ is the only foundation.
12-13. Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then everyone will find out if we have used gold, silver, and precious stones, or wood, hay, and straw.
