Bible verse
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 3.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
11 For no one can lay a 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 his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.
14 If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
