What did Paul say he did as a wise master builder?
Paul writes that according to the grace of God given to him, as a wise master builder he laid the foundation. He tells believers they are God's husbandry and building, and he emphasizes that he laid the foundation, for if he did not, he would be a liar.
Les explains that in 1 Corinthians 3:9-10, Paul is speaking to believers, calling them God's husbandry and God's building. Paul says that according to the grace of God given unto him, as a wise master builder, he laid the foundation. Les emphasizes that if Paul did not lay that foundation, then he would be the biggest liar and imposter, but he is not; his writings are true. Therefore, Paul's role as a wise master builder was to lay the foundation, which he did by the grace of God.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
