Surrounding context
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
