'Building' in the Bible

Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are *God's* field-- *God's* building.

In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I--like a competent master-builder--have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds.

And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw--

If any one's work--the building which he has erected--stands the test, he will be rewarded.

What then, brethren? Whenever you assemble, there is not one of you who is not ready either with a song of praise, a sermon, a revelation, a 'tongue,' or an interpretation. Let everything be done with a view to the building up of faith and character.
