• 1 Corinthians 3:6-18
  I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

• Proverbs 7:1-15
  My son, keep my words,
  And treasure my commands within you.
  Keep my commands and live,
  And my law as the apple of your eye.
  Bind them on your fingers;
  Write them on the tablet of your heart.
  Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
  And call understanding your nearest kin,
  That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
  From the seductress who flatters with her words. For at the window of my house
  I looked through my lattice,
  And saw among the simple,
  I perceived among the youths,
  A young man devoid of understanding,
  Passing along the street near her corner;
  And he took the path to her house
  In the twilight, in the evening,
  In the black and dark night.
  And there a woman met him,
  With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.
  She was loud and rebellious,
  Her feet would not stay at home.
  At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
  Lurking at every corner.
  So she caught him and kissed him;
  With an impudent face she said to him:
  " I have peace offerings with me;
  Today I have paid my vows.
  So I came out to meet you,
  Diligently to seek your face,
  And I have found you.
