carnel
(See Scofield) - (Rom 7:14).
That is, fleshy.
(Co1 1:12); (Co1 1:17); (Joh 1:13); (Jde 1:23).
one
Paul refutes the notion that he and Cephas and Apollos are at variance, mere theologians and rival founders of sects: they are "one." (Co1 3:22); (Co1 16:12).
reward
(Co1 9:17); (Dan 12:3); (Co1 3:14).
grace
Grace (imparted). (Co1 15:10); (Rom 6:1); (Pe2 3:18).
God, in the New Testament Scriptures, offers to the lost, salvation, and, for the faithful service of the saved, rewards. The passages are easily distinguished by remembering that salvation is invariably spoken of as a free gift, (for example), (Joh 4:10); (Rom 6:23); (Eph 2:8); (Eph 2:9), while rewards are earned by works; (Mat 10:42); (Luk 19:17); (Co1 9:24); (Co1 9:25); (Ti2 4:7); (Ti2 4:8); (Rev 2:10); (Rev 22:12).
A further distinction is that salvation is a present possession (Luk 7:50); (Joh 3:36); (Joh 5:24); (Joh 6:47); while rewards are a future attainment, to be given at the coming of the Lord; (Mat 16:27); (Ti2 4:8); (Rev 22:12).
saved
(See Scofield) - (Rom 1:16).
The Lord
Jehovah. (Psa 94:11).

Greek, "kosmos", means "earth". (Rom 8:19-21).
