1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given to me. Given when? When he was called to be an apostle. I have laid the foundation. The figure of the building is retained. Paul is a discreet master-builder. He had laid the foundation at Corinth, when he was preaching Christ, and working through faith in him (1Co 2:4,5). Notice it is not "a foundation", but "the foundation", because God's spiritual temple can have only one (1Co 3:16). Another buildeth thereon. After Paul left Corinth, Apollos and other teachers continued to build upon the foundation that Paul had laid. Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. Since there is only one foundation of the temple, viz.: Jesus Christ, there should be most careful and conscientious building upon it (1Co 3:12).

Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-03-10 19:12:20:
Thank God that Jesus Christ is that solid foundation, that we must build upon. Jesus told the story of the wise man, and the foolish man. The foolish man built his house upon the sands, and the rains came, then the floods descended, as a result the house fell. The wise man built his house upon the rock. The rains came, then the floods descended, and the house stood firm. We must be wise as we build on the foundation, and make sure it is the Lord Jesus Christ. The fire will determine that at the Judgment Seat of Christ. So let us labor together in the gospel. As one plants, another waters, but only God can give the increase. All the glory belongs to God.
