Bible: 1 Cor. 3:12-15; 9:24-27

3:12 If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, 1  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. 3:14 If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward. 3:15 If someone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss. 5  He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

9:24 When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor 1  he learned 2  what his youngest son had done 3  to him. 9:25 So he said,

Cursed 4  be Canaan! 5 

The lowest of slaves 6 

he will be to his brothers.”

9:26 He also said,

Worthy of praise is 7  the Lord, the God of Shem!

May Canaan be the slave of Shem! 8 

9:27 May God enlarge Japheth’s territory and numbers! 9 

May he live 10  in the tents of Shem

and may Canaan be his slave!
