1 Corinthians 3:13
King James Version (KJV)



[SIZE=small]13 [/SIZE]Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.





1 Corinthians 3:13
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)



13 The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done.

My thoughts.

The true works that count will be shown but those that don't will go away.

How about if we look at that particular verse within the context of the passage that it is in.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 (ESV):

10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid afoundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
I hope that helps to explain things.
