Bible Goes Screamo | 1 Corinthians 3:1-15

Описание: But I, brothers,[a] could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?

5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled[b] master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.


====================

[Verse 1 - Aggressive, staccato delivery]
I CAN'T SPEAK TO YOU LIKE YOU'RE SPIRITUAL!
You're FLESH! You're INFANTS! It's so TYPICAL!
Fed you MILK 'cause you couldn't TAKE THE MEAT!
And even NOW you're still INCOMPLETE!
JEALOUSY! STRIFE! Tearing you APART!
Acting HUMAN when you should be SET APART!
"I follow PAUL!" "I follow APOLLOS, man!"
We're just HUMAN! Don't you UNDERSTAND?!

[Chorus - Melodic but heavy, with layered vocals]
We're just SERVANTS! (Just servants!)
We're just TOOLS in His hands!
I PLANTED! He WATERED!
But GOD made you STAND!
Neither one means NOTHING!
It's GOD who brings the GROWTH!
We're just WORKERS TOGETHER!
He's the ONE we need MOST!

[Verse 2 - Rhythmic, syncopated with turntable effects]
We're God's FIELD! We're God's BUILDING!
Every worker gets his WAGES for the work that he's GIVING!
I laid down the FOUNDATION by the GRACE that He gave!
Like a MASTER BUILDER, showing you the WAY!
Someone ELSE is building on what I've put DOWN!
Better watch HOW you build or it's all coming DOWN!
NO OTHER FOUNDATION! There's only ONE NAME!
JESUS CHRIST! THE CORNERSTONE! Forever the SAME!

[Bridge - Breakdown with spoken/shouted vocals over crushing riffs]
GOLD! SILVER! PRECIOUS STONES!
WOOD! HAY! STRAW!
WHAT YOU BUILD WILL BE SHOWN!
The DAY will reveal it!
The FIRE will test it!
Will your work SURVIVE?!
Or will it be REJECTED?!

[Chorus - Full band intensity]
We're just SERVANTS! (Just servants!)
We're just TOOLS in His hands!
I PLANTED! He WATERED!
But GOD made you STAND!
Neither one means NOTHING!
It's GOD who brings the GROWTH!
We're just WORKERS TOGETHER!
He's the ONE we need MOST!

[Final Verse - Half-time, heavy and ominous]
If your work SURVIVES the flames, you'll get your REWARD!
If it BURNS to the ground, you'll suffer the LOSS!
But YOU'LL be saved, passing THROUGH the FIRE!
Built on CHRIST alone—the only thing REQUIRED!

[Outro - Chaotic breakdown, fading with ambient noise]
(THROUGH THE FIRE!)
(THROUGH THE FIRE!)
(THROUGH THE FIRE!)
Only... as... through... fire...
