1 Corinthians 11:19

11:19 For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident. ¹ 

1 Corinthians 3:13

3:13 each builder’s ²  work will be plainly seen, for the Day ³  will make it clear, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire ⁴  will test what kind of work each has done.

1 Corinthians 14:25

14:25 The secrets of his heart are disclosed, and in this way he will fall down with his face to the ground and worship God, declaring, “God is really among you.”

[11:19]  ¹ tn Grk “those approved may be evident among you.”

[3:13]  ² tn Grk “each one’s.” Here “builder’s” is employed in the translation for clarity.

[3:13]  ³ tn In an attempt to clarify the referent, some translations add “of Christ” after “Day” (so TEV); others specify this as “judgment day” (NLT) or “the day of judgment” (CEV).

[3:13]  ⁴ tc ‡ αὐτό (auto) is found at this point in v. 13 in a number of significant witnesses, including A B C P 33 1739 al. But Ì⁴⁶ א D Ψ 0289 1881 Ï latt lack it. The pronoun could be a motivated reading, designed to intensify Paul’s statement. On the other hand, it could have been deleted because the article alone made the reference already clear. In this instance, the possibility of scribal addition seems more likely than scribal deletion, although a decision is difficult. NA²⁷ includes the word in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.
