For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.	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.	For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
