 {Gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble}
(chrusion, argurion, lithous timious, xula, chorton, kalam(886e)).
The durable materials are three (gold, silver, marble or precious
stones), perishable materials (pieces of wood, hay, stubble), "of
a palace on the one hand, of a mud hut on the other" (Lightfoot).
Gold was freely used by the ancients in their palaces. Their
marble and granite pillars are still the wonder and despair of
modern men. The wooden huts had hay (chortos, grass, as in  Mr
6:39 ) and stubble (kalam(885c), old word for stubble after the
grain is cut, here alone in the N.T., though in LXX as  Ex 5:12 )
which were employed to hold the wood pieces together and to
thatch the roof. It is not made clear whether Paul's metaphor
refers to the persons as in God's building in verse  9  or to the
character of the teaching as in verse  13 . Probably both ideas
are involved, for look at the penalty on shoddy work (verse  15 )
and shoddy men (verse  17 ). The teaching may not always be
vicious and harmful. It may only be indifferent and worthless. A
co-worker with God in this great temple should put in his very
best effort.
