1 Now with regard to myself, I could not, brethren, speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal men, as babes in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, and not with strong food, because you were not arrived at strength; nor are you indeed yet strong, even now.
3 For you are yet carnal; for while there is among you envy and strife and divisions, are you not carnal and walking in the ways of man?
4 For when one saith, I am for Paul; and another, I am for Apollos, are you not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul? And who is Apollos? Are they any thing but mere dispensers of another's bounty, by whose means you have believed? Even as the Lord hath given to each,
6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So that neither the planter nor the waterer is any thing; it is God only who giveth growth.
8 Now he who planteth and he who watereth are all one; and each shall receive his peculiar reward according to his peculiar labour.
9 For we are fellow labourers belonging to God; you are God's field; you are his building.
10 According to the favour of God granted to me, I, like a skilful architect, have laid a foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every one take heed how he buildeth thereon.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which is laid, which is Jesus The Christ.
12 Now if upon this foundation any one buildeth gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 the work of every one will be made manifest; for the day will shew it: Because it is revealed with fire, therefore the fire will prove every one's work of what sort it is.
14 If any one's work which he hath built upon it, shall stand the test, he will receive a reward.
15 If any one's work be consumed he will lose that; but he shall himself be saved but so as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, him God will destroy; for the temple of God is holy.
18 Whosoever you are, let no one deceive himself. If am one among you seemeth to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God: for it is written, He entangleth the wise in their craft."
20 And again, "The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they are vain."
21 So let no one boast in men; for all things .are yours:
22 whether Paul. or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours,
23 and you are Christ's and Christ is God's.
