Ye are God's building. OK.How did you miss it? "Ye are God's building" is firstly addressed to the Corinthians and secondly to all Christians. And one cannot isolate one passage from the rest of Scripture to grasp what is being said. When Paul says "we are laborers together with God" that includes all Christians.
All Christians are God's building. OK. It says this in verse 16. We are the temple of God.
BUT
"We are laborers together with God",,,here you're adding to scripture.
Paul was saying that HE and APOLLOS are laborers for God.
Of course we all are....but it is not stated in 1 Corinthians 3 because this is not what Paul was teaching. He was teaching that ministers work for God, to build on the foundation, which is Christ and which is the foundation of the bldg of the believer -- the believer is the bldg.
He's saying that those who build as wise builders will be rewarded and those who do not will be saved but as through fire. He's speaking about doctrine and how believers are taught.
We are the building.
Ministers continue to build on the building.
