1599 Geneva Bible: "A Warning to Leaders"

1 Corinthians 3:10 “According to the grace of God given to me, as a skillful master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: (i) but let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.”

i. Now Paul speaks to the teachers, who have succeeded him in the Church of Corinth, and to all that were after him as well as all that shall be Pastors of Congregations, seeing that they succeed in the work of the Apostles, which were the planters and chief builders. Therefore he warns them (and us) first, that they do not fool themselves into thinking that they can build the Church up in any way that pleases them, that is to say, they may not set forth anything in the Church, in substance or in kind of teaching, that is in any way different from the Apostles, which were the Church's first builders.
