¹⁵ If the fire puts an end to any man's work, it will be his loss: but he will get salvation himself, though as by fire.

²³ And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

¹² But on the base a man may put gold, silver, stones of great price, wood, dry grass, cut stems;

¹³ Every man's work will be made clear in that day, because it will be tested by fire; and the fire itself will make clear the quality of every man's work.

⁸ Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.

¹⁸ If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.

¹⁸ And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

¹² You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
