1 Corinthians 3:15 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

If someone's work gets completely destroyed, they'll lose everything they built — but they themselves will still make it through, barely escaping like someone running out of a burning building.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You might lose your life's work, but you won't lose your life.
