1 Corinthians 3:1-4 So, for my part, brothers, I could not treat you as spiritual persons; I had to treat you just as creatures of flesh and blood, as babies in Christian living.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So, for my part, brothers, I could not treat you as spiritual persons; I had to treat you just as creatures of flesh and blood, as babies in Christian living. ² I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. Why, you are not ready for it now, ³ for you are still worldly. For when there are still jealousy and quarrels among you, are you not worldly and living on a merely human level? ⁴ For when one man says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another, "I am a follower of Apollos," are you not simply human?
