Divisiveness And Immaturity

11 For no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is laid, that is, Jesus Christ himself. 12 And whether one uses gold or silver or costly stone in building on the foundation, or wood or hay or straw, 13 the quality of everyone's work will appear, for the Day will show it. For the Day will break in fire, and the fire will test the quality of everyone's work.
