And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
