But each one should be careful how they build. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 each one’s work will become evident, for the Day will make it clear because it will be revealed by fire. The fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss, but they will still be saved, though only as one escaping through flames.
