He Will Reward

Matthew 16:27. [KJV]. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.
Matthew 16:26. [CLV]. For the Son of Mankind is about to be coming in the glory of His Father, with His messengers, and then He will be paying each in accord with his practice.
My best rendering of the interlinear....
Shall for who the Son of man comes in whose glory which the Father his with whose angels his and then reward everyone according to which works are His.
The King James, and most other translations suggest that there will be reward according to our own works. More likely, if it is our own work, there will be judgment. The interlinear suggests that the reward will be in accordance with His works, done in us and through us. A significant distinction.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15.
KJV.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For no other foundation can someone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abides which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

CLV.
According to the grace of God which is being granted to me, as a wise foreman I lay a foundation, yet another is building on it. Yet let each one beware how he is building on it." 11 For other foundation can no one lay beside that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." 12 Now if anyone is building on this foundation gold and silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, 13 each one's work will become apparent, for the day will make it evident, for it is being revealed by fire. And the fire, it will be testing each one's work - what kind it is." 14 If anyone's work will be remaining which he builds on it, he will get wages." 15 If anyone's work shall be burned up, he will forfeit it, yet he shall be saved, yet thus, as through fire."

Fairly consistent.
