If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward.

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

If someone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he has nothing to fear among you, for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am too.

And you are proud! Shouldn’t you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you?

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

So then, dear brothers and sisters, be firm. Do not be moved! Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
