Biblical Concept: The Biblical Individual
1 Corinthians 3:8-15 8 Now
he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward
according to his own labor. 9
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. 10 According to the grace of God
which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and
another is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon
it. 11 For no man can lay a
foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man builds upon the
foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each man's work will become
evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test the quality
of each man's work. 14 If any
man's work which he has built upon it remains, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work is burned up,
he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire.
Each one

Free will
1 Corinthians 7:36-37 36 But
if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she should be of full age,
and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her
marry. 37 But he who stands
firm in his heart, being under no constraint, but has authority over his own
will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, he will do well.
Revelation 22:12 12
