If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 3:15 Go To 1 Corinthians 3
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
To suffer loss is to endure reproof. For what person, when subjected to punishment, does not lose something thereby? Yet the person himself may be saved. His living soul will not perish in the same way that his erroneous ideas will. Even so, however, he may suffer punishments of fire. He will be saved only by being purified through fire. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
