Moses’ face shone when he came down the mountain to the people. He had been talking to the Creator of Heaven and earth. We too should show that we have been with Jesus.

Exo 33:7 The word “tabernacle” occurs twice in this verse, is the word for tent (<168> ophel). “Ophel” occurs 11 times in this chapter and is translated either as “tabernacle” or “tent”. The Tabernacle (H4908, mishkan) had not yet been completed, see Exo 26:1 ; Exo 40:2.
In view of Israel’s sin in rejecting the LORD for worship of the gods of Egypt (Exo 32:19-23) Moses pitched the tent (ophel)<4150>
We see here the basis for our separation today to worship the only true God.
“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”(2Pet 1:8-8).
“Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us goforth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.(Heb 13:12-14).

34:6,7 Notice that love and forgiveness go together – you cannot have one without the other in an age where sin exists. “Yahweh … a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin …”.
Thus forgiveness of others by us is an act of love to them; just as God's forgiveness of us is an act of love to us.

1. And the LORD <3068> said <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, Depart <3212>(8798), and go up <5927>(8798) hence, thou and the people <5971> which thou hast brought up <5927>(8689) out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, unto the land <776> which I sware <7650>(8738) unto Abraham <85>, to Isaac <3327>, and to Jacob <3290>, saying <559>(8800), Unto thy seed <2233> will I give <5414>(8799) it:
2. And I will send <7971>(8804) an angel <4397> before <6440> thee; and I will drive out <1644>(8765) the Canaanite <3669>, the Amorite <567>, and the Hittite <2850>, and the Perizzite <6522>, the Hivite <2340>, and the Jebusite <2983>:
3. Unto a land <776> flowing <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>: for I will not go up <5927>(8799) in the midst <7130> of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked <7186> <6203> people <5971>: lest I consume <3615>(8762) thee in the way <1870>.
4. And when the people <5971> heard <8085>(8799) these evil <7451> tidings <1697>, they mourned <56>(8691): and no man <376> did put <7896>(8804) on him his ornaments <5716>.
5. For the LORD <3068> had said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Say <559>(8798) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, Ye are a stiffnecked <7186> <6203> people <5971>: I will come up <5927>(8799) into the midst <7130> of thee in a <259> moment <7281>, and consume <3615>(8765) thee: therefore now put off <3381>(8685) thy ornaments <5716> from thee, that I may know <3045>(8799) what to do <6213>(8799) unto thee.
6. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> stripped <5337>(8691) themselves of their ornaments <5716> by the mount <2022> Horeb <2722>.
7. And Moses <4872> took <3947>(8799) the tabernacle <168>, and pitched <5186>(8804) it without <2351> the camp <4264>, afar off <7368>(8687) from the camp <4264>, and called <7121>(8804) it the Tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>. And it came to pass, that every one which sought <1245>(8764) the LORD <3068> went out <3318>(8799) unto the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>, which was without <2351> the camp <4264>.
8. And it came to pass, when Moses <4872> went out <3318>(8800) unto the tabernacle <168>, that all the people <5971> rose up <6965>(8799), and stood <5324>(8738) every man <376> at his tent <168> door <6607>, and looked <5027>(8689) after <310> Moses <4872>, until he was gone <935>(8800) into the tabernacle <168>.
9. And it came to pass, as Moses <4872> entered <935>(8800) into the tabernacle <168>, the cloudy <6051> pillar <5982> descended <3381>(8799), and stood <5975>(8804) at the door <6607> of the tabernacle <168>, and the LORD talked <1696>(8765) with Moses <4872>.
10. And all the people <5971> saw <7200>(8804) the cloudy <6051> pillar <5982> stand <5975>(8802) at the tabernacle <168> door <6607>: and all the people <5971> rose up <6965>(8804) and worshipped <7812>(8694), every man <376> in his tent <168> door <6607>.
11. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8765) unto Moses <4872> face <6440> to face <6440>, as a man <376> speaketh <1696>(8762) unto his friend <7453>. And he turned again <7725>(8804) into the camp <4264>: but his servant <8334>(8764) Joshua <3091>, the son <1121> of Nun <5126>, a young man <5288>, departed <4185>(8686) not out <8432> of the tabernacle <168>.
12. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>, See <7200>(8798), thou sayest <559>(8802) unto me, Bring up <5927>(8685) this people <5971>: and thou hast not let me know <3045>(8689) whom thou wilt send <7971>(8799) with me. Yet thou hast said <559>(8804), I know <3045>(8804) thee by name <8034>, and thou hast also found <4672>(8804) grace <2580> in my sight <5869>.
13. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found <4672>(8804) grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>, shew <3045>(8685) me now thy way <1870>, that I may know <3045>(8799) thee, that I may find <4672>(8799) grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>: and consider <7200>(8798) that this nation <1471> is thy people <5971>.
14. And he said <559>(8799), My presence <6440> shall go <3212>(8799) with thee, and I will give thee rest <5117>(8689).
15. And he said <559>(8799) unto him, If thy presence <6440> go <1980>(8802) not with me, carry us not up <5927>(8686) hence.
16. For wherein shall it be known <3045>(8735) here <645> that I and thy people <5971> have found <4672>(8804) grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>? is it not in that thou goest <3212>(8800) with us? so shall we be separated <6395>(8738), I and thy people <5971>, from all the people <5971> that are upon the face <6440> of the earth <127>.
17. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, I will do <6213>(8799) this thing <1697> also that thou hast spoken <1696>(8765): for thou hast found <4672>(8804) grace <2580> in my sight <5869>, and I know <3045>(8799) thee by name <8034>.
18. And he said <559>(8799), I beseech thee <4994>, shew <7200>(8685) me thy glory <3519>.
19. And he said <559>(8799), I will make all my goodness <2898> pass <5674>(8686) before thee, and I will proclaim <7121>(8804) the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> before <6440> thee; and will be gracious <2603>(8804) to whom I will be gracious <2603>(8799), and will shew mercy <7355>(8765) on whom I will shew mercy <7355>(8762).
20. And he said <559>(8799), Thou canst <3201>(8799) not see <7200>(8800) my face <6440>: for there shall no man <120> see <7200>(8799) me, and live <2425>(8804).
21. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799), Behold, there is a place <4725> by me, and thou shalt stand <5324>(8738) upon a rock <6697>:
22. And it shall come to pass, while my glory <3519> passeth by <5674>(8800), that I will put <7760>(8804) thee in a clift <5366> of the rock <6697>, and will cover <5526>(8804) thee with my hand <3709> while <5704> I pass by <5674>(8800):
23. And I will take <5493>(8689) away mine hand <3709>, and thou shalt see <7200>(8804) my back parts <268>: but my face <6440> shall not be seen <7200>(8735).
1. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Hew <6458>(8798) thee two <8147> tables <3871> of stone <68> like unto the first <7223>: and I will write <3789>(8804) upon these tables <3871> the words <1697> that were in the first <7223> tables <3871>, which thou brakest <7665>(8765).
2. And be ready <3559>(8737) in the morning <1242>, and come up <5927>(8804) in the morning <1242> unto mount <2022> Sinai <5514>, and present <5324>(8738) thyself there to me in the top <7218> of the mount <2022>.
3. And no man <376> shall come up <5927>(8799) with thee, neither <408> let any man <376> be seen <7200>(8735) throughout all the mount <2022>; neither let the flocks <6629> nor herds <1241> feed <7462>(8799) before <4136> that mount <2022>.
4. And he hewed <6458>(8799) two <8147> tables <3871> of stone <68> like unto the first <7223>; and Moses <4872> rose up early <7925>(8686) in the morning <1242>, and went up <5927>(8799) unto mount <2022> Sinai <5514>, as the LORD <3068> had commanded <6680>(8765) him, and took <3947>(8799) in his hand <3027> the two <8147> tables <3871> of stone <68>.
5. And the LORD <3068> descended <3381>(8799) in the cloud <6051>, and stood <3320>(8691) with him there, and proclaimed <7121>(8799) the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.
6. And the LORD <3068> passed by <5674>(8799) before him <6440>, and proclaimed <7121>(8799), The LORD <3068>, The LORD <3068> God <410>, merciful <7349> and gracious <2587>, longsuffering <750> <639>, and abundant <7227> in goodness <2617> and truth <571>,
7. Keeping <5341>(8802) mercy <2617> for thousands <505>, forgiving <5375>(8802) iniquity <5771> and transgression <6588> and sin <2403>, and that will by no means <5352>(8763) clear <5352>(8762) the guilty; visiting <6485>(8802) the iniquity <5771> of the fathers <1> upon the children <1121>, and upon the children's <1121> children, unto the third <8029> and to the fourth <7256> generation.
8. And Moses <4872> made haste <4116>(8762), and bowed his head <6915>(8799) toward the earth <776>, and worshipped <7812>(8691).
9. And he said <559>(8799), If now I have found <4672>(8804) grace <2580> in thy sight <5869>, O Lord <136>, let my Lord <136>, I pray thee, go <3212>(8799) among <7130> us; for it is a stiffnecked <7186> <6203> people <5971>; and pardon <5545>(8804) our iniquity <5771> and our sin <2403>, and take us for thine inheritance <5157>(8804).
10. And he said <559>(8799), Behold, I make <3772>(8802) a covenant <1285>: before all thy people <5971> I will do <6213>(8799) marvels <6381>(8737), such as have not been done <1254>(8738) in all the earth <776>, nor in any nation <1471>: and all the people <5971> among <7130> which thou art shall see <7200>(8804) the work <4639> of the LORD <3068>: for it is a terrible thing <3372>(8737) that I will do <6213>(8802) with thee.
11. Observe <8104>(8798) thou that which I command <6680>(8764) thee this day <3117>: behold, I drive out <1644>(8802) before <6440> thee the Amorite <567>, and the Canaanite <3669>, and the Hittite <2850>, and the Perizzite <6522>, and the Hivite <2340>, and the Jebusite <2983>.
12. Take heed <8104>(8734) to thyself, lest thou make <3772>(8799) a covenant <1285> with the inhabitants <3427>(8802) of the land <776> whither thou goest <935>(8802), lest it be for a snare <4170> in the midst <7130> of thee:
13. But ye shall destroy <5422>(8799) their altars <4196>, break <7665>(8762) their images <4676>, and cut down <3772>(8799) their groves <842>:
14. For thou shalt worship <7812>(8691) no other <312> god <410>: for the LORD <3068>, whose name <8034> is Jealous <7067>, is a jealous <7067> God <410>:
15. Lest thou make <3772>(8799) a covenant <1285> with the inhabitants <3427>(8802) of the land <776>, and they go a whoring <2181>(8804) after <310> their gods <430>, and do sacrifice <2076>(8804) unto their gods <430>, and one call <7121>(8804) thee, and thou eat <398>(8804) of his sacrifice <2077>;
16. And thou take <3947>(8804) of their daughters <1323> unto thy sons <1121>, and their daughters <1323> go a whoring <2181>(8804) after <310> their gods <430>, and make <2181> <0> thy sons <1121> go a whoring <2181>(8689) after <310> their gods <430>.
17. Thou shalt make <6213>(8799) thee no molten <4541> gods <430>.
18. The feast <2282> of unleavened bread <4682> shalt thou keep <8104>(8799). Seven <7651> days <3117> thou shalt eat <398>(8799) unleavened bread <4682>, as I commanded <6680>(8765) thee, in the time <4150> of the month <2320> Abib <24>: for in the month <2320> Abib <24> thou camest out <3318>(8804) from Egypt <4714>.
19. All that openeth <6363> the matrix <7358> is mine; and every firstling <6363> among thy cattle <4735>, whether ox <7794> or sheep <7716>, that is male <2142>(8735).
20. But the firstling <6363> of an ass <2543> thou shalt redeem <6299>(8799) with a lamb <7716>: and if thou redeem <6299>(8799) him not, then shalt thou break his neck <6202>(8804). All the firstborn <1060> of thy sons <1121> thou shalt redeem <6299>(8799). And none shall appear <7200>(8735) before <6440> me empty <7387>.
21. Six <8337> days <3117> thou shalt work <5647>(8799), but on the seventh <7637> day <3117> thou shalt rest <7673>(8799): in earing time <2758> and in harvest <7105> thou shalt rest <7673>(8799).
22. And thou shalt observe <6213>(8799) the feast <2282> of weeks <7620>, of the firstfruits <1061> of wheat <2406> harvest <7105>, and the feast <2282> of ingathering <614> at the year's <8141> end <8622>.
23. Thrice <6471> <7969> in the year <8141> shall all your men children <2138> appear <7200>(8735) before <6440> the Lord <113> GOD <3068>, the God <430> of Israel <3478>.
24. For I will cast out <3423>(8686) the nations <1471> before <6440> thee, and enlarge <7337>(8689) thy borders <1366>: neither shall any man <376> desire <2530>(8799) thy land <776>, when thou shalt go up <5927>(8800) to appear <7200>(8736) before <6440> the LORD <3068> thy God <430> thrice <6471> <7969> in the year <8141>.
25. Thou shalt not offer <7819>(8799) the blood <1818> of my sacrifice <2077> with leaven <2557>; neither shall the sacrifice <2077> of the feast <2282> of the passover <6453> be left <3885>(8799) unto the morning <1242>.
26. The first <7225> of the firstfruits <1061> of thy land <127> thou shalt bring <935>(8686) unto the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430>. Thou shalt not seethe <1310>(8762) a kid <1423> in his mother's <517> milk <2461>.
27. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Write <3789>(8798) thou these words <1697>: for after the tenor <6310> of these words <1697> I have made <3772>(8804) a covenant <1285> with thee and with Israel <3478>.
28. And he was there with the LORD <3068> forty <705> days <3117> and forty <705> nights <3915>; he did neither eat <398>(8804) bread <3899>, nor drink <8354>(8804) water <4325>. And he wrote <3789>(8799) upon the tables <3871> the words <1697> of the covenant <1285>, the ten <6235> commandments <1697>.
29. And it came to pass, when Moses <4872> came down <3381>(8800) from mount <2022> Sinai <5514> with the two <8147> tables <3871> of testimony <5715> in Moses <4872>' hand <3027>, when he came down <3381>(8800) from the mount <2022>, that Moses <4872> wist <3045>(8804) not that the skin <5785> of his face <6440> shone <7160>(8804) while he talked <1696>(8763) with him.
30. And when Aaron <175> and all the children <1121> of Israel <3478> saw <7200>(8799) Moses <4872>, behold, the skin <5785> of his face <6440> shone <7160>(8804); and they were afraid <3372>(8799) to come nigh <5066>(8800) him.
31. And Moses <4872> called <7121>(8799) unto them; and Aaron <175> and all the rulers <5387> of the congregation <5712> returned <7725>(8799) unto him: and Moses <4872> talked <1696>(8762) with them.
32. And afterward <310> all the children <1121> of Israel <3478> came nigh <5066>(8738): and he gave them in commandment <6680>(8762) all that the LORD <3068> had spoken <1696>(8765) with him in mount <2022> Sinai <5514>.
33. And till Moses <4872> had done <3615>(8762) speaking <1696>(8763) with them, he put <5414>(8799) a vail <4533> on his face <6440>.
34. But when Moses <4872> went in <935>(8800) before <6440> the LORD <3068> to speak <1696>(8763) with him, he took <5493> <0> the vail <4533> off <5493>(8686), until he came out <3318>(8800). And he came out <3318>(8804), and spake <1696>(8765) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478> that which he was commanded <6680>(8792).
35. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> saw <7200>(8804) the face <6440> of Moses <4872>, that the skin <5785> of Moses <4872>' face <6440> shone <7160>(8804): and Moses <4872> put <7725> <0> the vail <4533> upon his face <6440> again <7725>(8689), until he went <935>(8800) in to speak <1696>(8763) with him.
Notes that are not verse specific
90 & 91 Notice the contrast between these two Psalms of Moses. Psa 90 focuses on the sins of the people and the judgement that God would bring. Psa 91 focuses on the reward for the faithful. In the immediate context Joshua and Caleb.

1. A Prayer <8605> of Moses <4872> the man <376> of God <430>. Lord <136>, thou hast been our dwelling place <4583> in all <1755> generations <1755>.
2. Before the mountains <2022> were brought forth <3205>(8795), or ever thou hadst formed <2342>(8787) the earth <776> and the world <8398>, even from everlasting <5769> to <5704> everlasting <5769>, thou art God <410>.
3. Thou turnest <7725>(8686) man <582> to destruction <1793>; and sayest <559>(8799), Return <7725>(8798), ye children <1121> of men <120>.
4. For a thousand <505> years <8141> in thy sight <5869> are but as <3117> yesterday <865> when it is past <5674>(8799), and as a watch <821> in the night <3915>.
5. Thou carriest them away as with a flood <2229>(8804); they are as a sleep <8142>: in the morning <1242> they are like grass <2682> which groweth up <2498>(8799).
6. In the morning <1242> it flourisheth <6692>(8686), and groweth up <2498>(8804); in the evening <6153> it is cut down <4135>(8787), and withereth <3001>(8804).
7. For we are consumed <3615>(8804) by thine anger <639>, and by thy wrath <2534> are we troubled <926>(8738).
8. Thou hast set <7896>(8804) our iniquities <5771> before thee, our secret <5956>(8803) sins in the light <3974> of thy countenance <6440>.
9. For all our days <3117> are passed away <6437>(8804) in thy wrath <5678>: we spend <3615>(8765) our years <8141> as a tale <1899> that is told.
10. The days <3117> of our years <8141> are threescore <7657> <0> years <8141> and ten <7657>; and if by reason of strength <1369> they be fourscore <8084> years <8141>, yet is their strength <7296> labour <5999> and sorrow <205>; for it is soon <2440> cut off <1468>(8804), and we fly away <5774>(8799).
11. Who knoweth <3045>(8802) the power <5797> of thine anger <639>? even according to thy fear <3374>, so is thy wrath <5678>.
12. So teach <3045>(8685) us to number <4487>(8800) our days <3117>, that we may apply <935>(8686) our hearts <3824> unto wisdom <2451>.
13. Return <7725>(8798), O LORD <3068>, how long? and let it repent <5162>(8734) thee concerning thy servants <5650>.
14. O satisfy <7646>(8761) us early <1242> with thy mercy <2617>; that we may rejoice <7442>(8762) and be glad <8055>(8799) all our days <3117>.
15. Make us glad <8055>(8761) according to the days <3117> wherein thou hast afflicted <6031>(8765) us, and the years <8141> wherein we have seen <7200>(8804) evil <7451>.
16. Let thy work <6467> appear <7200>(8735) unto thy servants <5650>, and thy glory <1926> unto their children <1121>.
17. And let the beauty <5278> of the LORD <3068> our God <430> be upon us: and establish <3559>(8786) thou the work <4639> of our hands <3027> upon us; yea, the work <4639> of our hands <3027> establish <3559>(8786) thou it.
1. He that dwelleth <3427>(8802) in the secret <5643> place of the most High <5945> shall abide <3885>(8698) under the shadow <6738> of the Almighty <7706>.
2. I will say <559>(8799) of the LORD <3068>, He is my refuge <4268> and my fortress <4686>: my God <430>; in him will I trust <982>(8799).
3. Surely he shall deliver <5337>(8686) thee from the snare <6341> of the fowler <3353>, and from the noisome <1942> pestilence <1698>.
4. He shall cover <5526>(8686) thee with his feathers <84>, and under his wings <3671> shalt thou trust <2620>(8799): his truth <571> shall be thy shield <6793> and buckler <5507>.
5. Thou shalt not be afraid <3372>(8799) for the terror <6343> by night <3915>; nor for the arrow <2671> that flieth <5774>(8799) by day <3119>;
6. Nor for the pestilence <1698> that walketh <1980>(8799) in darkness <652>; nor for the destruction <6986> that wasteth <7736>(8799) at noonday <6672>.
7. A thousand <505> shall fall <5307>(8799) at thy side <6654>, and ten thousand <7233> at thy right hand <3225>; but it shall not come nigh <5066>(8799) thee.
8. Only with thine eyes <5869> shalt thou behold <5027>(8686) and see <7200>(8799) the reward <8011> of the wicked <7563>.
9. Because thou hast made <7760>(8804) the LORD <3068>, which is my refuge <4268>, even the most High <5945>, thy habitation <4583>;
10. There shall no evil <7451> befall <579>(8792) thee, neither shall any plague <5061> come nigh <7126>(8799) thy dwelling <168>.
11. For he shall give his angels <4397> charge <6680>(8762) over thee, to keep <8104>(8800) thee in all thy ways <1870>.
12. They shall bear thee up <5375>(8799) in their hands <3709>, lest thou dash <5062>(8799) thy foot <7272> against a stone <68>.
13. Thou shalt tread <1869>(8799) upon the lion <7826> and adder <6620>: the young lion <3715> and the dragon <8577> shalt thou trample under feet <7429>(8799).
14. Because he hath set his love <2836>(8804) upon me, therefore will I deliver <6403>(8762) him: I will set him on high <7682>(8762), because he hath known <3045>(8804) my name <8034>.
15. He shall call <7121>(8799) upon me, and I will answer <6030>(8799) him: I will be with him in trouble <6869>; I will deliver <2502>(8762) him, and honour <3513>(8762) him.
16. With long <753> life <3117> will I satisfy <7646>(8686) him, and shew <7200>(8686) him my salvation <3444>.
Notes that are not verse specific
Paul is concerned with the state of the ecclesia at Corinth. Corinth was a licentious city, given to the worship of Venus, whose temple supplied 1000 cult prostitutes to service its worshippers. Members of the ecclesia not only faced a morally lax environment, but had the added problem of Judaizers amongst them. They were insistent that the Law should be followed as an appropriate component to following Jesus. Paul stressed that the ecclesia is based on one certain foundation, Jesus alone (Mark 12:10). Jesus had fulfilled the Law (Matt 5:17). And so, the ecclesia at Corinth was confronted by two negative forces: the world outside; and the pressure of error from within. The same problems exist today.

God Gives the Increase
We all should have a burning desire to win souls to the Lord, but if you are like me, we sometimes get frustrated and wonder why people can't see the truth in God's word. Here in this verse Paul helps us understand that it is our job to plant, to water, to nourish, yet it is God which gives the increase. We of ourselves, we can do nothing, it's all a work of God ... God gives the increase. Only God draws unbelievers to Himself. It is our responsibility to do our job no matter what the results, for God will reward us for our efforts and the quality of our work. 1Cor 9:24-27
"Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it" Psa 127:1

1. And <2532> I <1473>, brethren <80>, could <1410>(5675) not <3756> speak <2980>(5658) unto you <5213> as <5613> unto spiritual <4152>, but <235> as <5613> unto carnal <4559>, even as <5613> unto babes <3516> in <1722> Christ <5547>.
2. I have fed <4222>(5656) you <5209> with milk <1051>, and <2532> not <3756> with meat <1033>: for <1063> hitherto <3768> <0> ye were <1410> <0> not <3768> able <1410>(5711) to bear it, neither <235> <3777> yet <2089> now <3568> are ye able <1410>(5736).
3. For <1063> ye are <2075>(5748) yet <2089> carnal <4559>: for <1063> whereas <3699> there is among <1722> you <5213> envying <2205>, and <2532> strife <2054>, and <2532> divisions <1370>, are ye <2075>(5748) not <3780> carnal <4559>, and <2532> walk <4043>(5719) as <2596> men <444>?
4. For <1063> while <3752> one <5100> saith <3004>(5725), I <1473> <3303> am <1510>(5748) of Paul <3972>; and <1161> another <2087>, I <1473> am of Apollos <625>; are <2075> ye(5748) not <3780> carnal <4559>?
5. Who <5101> then <3767> is <2076>(5748) Paul <3972>, and <1161> who <5101> is Apollos <625>, but <235> <2228> ministers <1249> by <1223> whom <3739> ye believed <4100>(5656), even <2532> as <5613> the Lord <2962> gave <1325>(5656) to every man <1538>?
6. I <1473> have planted <5452>(5656), Apollos <625> watered <4222>(5656); but <235> God <2316> gave the increase <837>(5707).
7. So <5620> then neither <3777> is <2076>(5748) he that planteth <5452>(5723) any thing <5100>, neither <3777> he that watereth <4222>(5723); but <235> God <2316> that giveth the increase <837>(5723).
8. Now <1161> he that planteth <5452>(5723) and <2532> he that watereth <4222>(5723) are <1526>(5748) one <1520>: and <1161> every man <1538> shall receive <2983>(5695) his own <2398> reward <3408> according <2596> to his own <2398> labour <2873>.
9. For <1063> we are <2070>(5748) labourers together <4904> with God <2316>: ye are <2075>(5748) God's <2316> husbandry <1091>, ye are God's <2316> building <3619>.
10. According <2596> to the grace <5485> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325>(5685) unto me <3427>, as <5613> a wise <4680> masterbuilder <753>, I have laid <5087>(5758) the foundation <2310>, and <1161> another <243> buildeth <2026>(5719) thereon. But <1161> let <991> <0> every man <1538> take heed <991>(5720) how <4459> he buildeth <2026>(5719) thereupon.
11. For <1063> other <243> foundation <2310> can <1410>(5736) no man <3762> lay <5087>(5629) than <3844> that is laid <2749>(5740), which <3739> is <2076>(5748) Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
12. Now <1161> if any man <1536> build <2026>(5719) upon <1909> this <5126> foundation <2310> gold <5557>, silver <696>, precious <5093> stones <3037>, wood <3586>, hay <5528>, stubble <2562>;
13. Every man's <1538> work <2041> shall be made <1096>(5695) manifest <5318>: for <1063> the day <2250> shall declare <1213>(5692) it, because <3754> it shall be revealed <601>(5743) by <1722> fire <4442>; and <2532> the fire <4442> shall try <1381>(5692) every man's <1538> work <2041> of what sort <3697> it is <2076>(5748).
14. If any man's <1536> work <2041> abide <3306>(5719)(5692) which <3739> he hath built <2026>(5656) thereupon, he shall receive <2983>(5695) a reward <3408>.
15. If any man's <1536> work <2041> shall be burned <2618>(5691), he shall suffer loss <2210>(5701): but <1161> he himself <846> shall be saved <4982>(5701); yet <1161> so <3779> as <5613> by <1223> fire <4442>.
16. Know ye <1492>(5758) not <3756> that <3754> ye are <2075>(5748) the temple <3485> of God <2316>, and <2532> that the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwelleth <3611>(5719) in <1722> you <5213>?
17. If any man <1536> defile <5351>(5719) the temple <3485> of God <2316>, him <5126> shall <5351> <0> God <2316> destroy <5351>(5692); for <1063> the temple <3485> of God <2316> is <2076>(5748) holy <40>, which <3748> temple ye <5210> are <2075>(5748).
18. Let <1818> <0> no man <3367> deceive <1818>(5720) himself <1438>. If any man <1536> among <1722> you <5213> seemeth <1380>(5719) to be <1511>(5750) wise <4680> in <1722> this <5129> world <165>, let him become <1096>(5634) a fool <3474>, that <2443> he may be <1096>(5638) wise <4680>.
19. For <1063> the wisdom <4678> of this <5127> world <2889> is <2076>(5748) foolishness <3472> with <3844> God <2316>. For <1063> it is written <1125>(5769), He taketh <1405>(5740) the wise <4680> in <1722> their own <846> craftiness <3834>.
20. And <2532> again <3825>, The Lord <2962> knoweth <1097>(5719) the thoughts <1261> of the wise <4680>, that <3754> they are <1526>(5748) vain <3152>.
21. Therefore <5620> let <2744> <0> no man <3367> glory <2744>(5737) in <1722> men <444>. For <1063> all things <3956> are <2076>(5748) yours <5216>;
22. Whether <1535> Paul <3972>, or <1535> Apollos <625>, or <1535> Cephas <2786>, or <1535> the world <2889>, or <1535> life <2222>, or <1535> death <2288>, or <1535> things present <1764>(5761), or <1535> things to come <3195>(5723); all <3956> are <2076>(5748) yours <5216>;
23. And <1161> ye <5210> are Christ's <5547>; and <1161> Christ <5547> is God's <2316>.
