1 Korintus 3:14-15

3:14 If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward. 3:15 If someone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss. ¹  He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

1 Korintus 4:5

4:5 So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will ²  bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition ³  from God.

1 Korintus 4:2

4:2 Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.

Titus 3:9

3:9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, ⁴  quarrels, and fights about the law, ⁵  because they are useless and empty.

[3:15]  ¹ tn The translation “[will] be punished” is given here by BDAG 428 s.v. ζημιόω 2. But the next clause says “he will be delivered” and so “suffering loss” is more likely to refer to the destruction of the “work” by fire or the loss of the reward that could have been gained.

[4:5]  ² tn Grk “time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light.”

[4:5]  ³ tn Or “praise.”

[3:9]  ⁴ tn Cf. 1 Tim 1:4.

[3:9]  ⁵ sn Fights about the law were characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus as well as in Crete (cf. 1 Tim 1:3-7; Titus 1:10, 14).
