And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as fleshy, as babes in Christ.
With milk I gave you drink, not meat; for ye were not yet able, nor indeed are ye now able,
for ye are yet carnal. For whereas emulation and strife [are] among you, are ye not carnal and walk according to man?
For when one saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, are ye not men?
What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers by whom ye believed, and as the Lord gave to each.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
So that neither he that planteth is anything, nor he that watereth, but God that giveth the increase.
And he that planteth and he that watereth are one thing; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
For we are God’s fellow-workmen; ye are God’s tillage, God’s building.
According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise architect I laid the foundation and another buildeth on [it]. But let each see how he buildeth on [it].
For other foundation can none lay than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if anyone build on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is to be revealed in fire, and the fire itself shall try the work of each, of what sort it is.
If the work of anyone shall abide which he built on [it], he shall receive reward:
if the work of anyone shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but himself shall be saved but so as through fire.
Know ye not that ye are God’s temple, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If anyone destroy the temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, the which ye are.
Let none deceive himself; if anyone thinketh himself to be wise among you in this age, let him become foolish that he may be wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness;
and again, [The] Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
Wherefore let none boast in men, for all things are yours:
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours,
and ye Christ’s, and Christ God’s.
