Christ’s Judgment Day (1 Corinthians 3:12-18) The Living Bible & Good News Translations

THE LIVING BIBLE TRANSLATION
12  But there are various kinds of materials that can be used to build on that foundation. Some use gold and silver and jewels; and some build with sticks and hay or even straw! 
13  There is going to come a time of testing at Christ’s Judgment Day to see what kind of material each builder has used. Everyone’s work will be put through the fire so that all can see whether or not it keeps its value, and what was really accomplished. 
14  Then every workman who has built on the foundation with the right materials, and whose work still stands, will get his pay. 
15  But if the house he has built burns up, he will have a great loss. He himself will be saved, but like a man escaping through a wall of flames.
16  Don’t you realize that all of you together are the house of God, and that the Spirit of God lives among you in his house? 
17  If anyone defiles and spoils God’s home, God will destroy him. For God’s home is holy and clean, and you are that home.
18  Stop fooling yourselves. If you count yourself above average in intelligence, as judged by this world’s standards, you had better put this all aside and be a fool rather than let it hold you back from the true wisdom from above.

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
12  Some will use gold or silver or precious stones in building on the foundation; others will use wood or grass or straw. 
13  And the quality of each person's work will be seen when the Day of Christ exposes it. For on that Day fire will reveal everyone's work; the fire will test it and show its real quality. 
14  If what was built on the foundation survives the fire, the builder will receive a reward. 
15  But if your work is burnt up, then you will lose it; but you yourself will be saved, as if you had escaped through the fire.
16  Surely you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you! 
17  God will destroy anyone who destroys God's temple. For God's temple is holy, and you yourselves are his temple.
18  You should not fool yourself. If any of you think that you are wise by this world's standards, you should become a fool, in order to be really wise.
