1 Corinthians 3:10-17 MWT
10 According to the undeserved kindness of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, but someone else is building on it. But let each one be careful how he is building on it. 11 For no man can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 We can build on that foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, or with wood materials, hay, and stubble. 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. 14 If anyone's work that he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward; 15 but if it is destroyed by the fire, we will lose everything. Yet we ourselves will be saved, like someone escaping from flames. 16 Do you not know that you people are God's temple, and that the spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone makes the temple of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the temple of God is holy, and you are his temple.

1 Corinthians 3:10-17 CEV
(10) God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build, (11) because Christ is the only foundation. (12) Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then everyone will find out if we have used gold, silver, and precious stones, or wood, hay, and straw. (13) (SEE 3:12) (14) We will be rewarded if our building is left standing. (15) But if it is destroyed by the fire, we will lose everything. Yet we ourselves will be saved, like someone escaping from flames. (16) All of you surely know that you are God's temple and that his Spirit lives in you. (17) Together you are God's holy temple, and God will destroy anyone who destroys his temple.

1 Corinthians 3:10-17 BBE
(10) In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it. But let every man take care what he puts on it. (11) For there is no other base for the building but that which has been put down, which is Jesus Christ. (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. (14) If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward. (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. (16) Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you? (17) If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house.

1 Corinthians 3:10-17 LITV
(10) According to God's grace given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, but another builds on it. But let each one be careful how he builds. (11) For no one is able to lay any other foundation beside the One having been laid, who is Jesus Christ. (12) And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, (13) the work of each will be revealed; for the Day will make it known, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire will prove the work of each, what sort it is. (14) If the work of anyone which he built remains, he will receive a reward. (15) If the work of anyone shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss; but he will be saved, but so as through fire. (16) Do you not know that you are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you? (17) If anyone corrupts the sanctuary of God, God will bring that one to corruption; for the sanctuary of God is holy, which you are.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
