So as a youth you need to lay a solid foundation for your future, by directing your energy and
resources at productive activities that will increase your value in life and enable you to reach your

12 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
13 his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with
fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.
14 If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.
15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through
the flames. NIV
