1 ¶ And I, brothers, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with solid food, for until now ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nay, not even now are ye able;

3 F or ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk as men?

for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

4 F or while one says, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?

For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?

5 ¶ Who then is Paul? and who is Apollos? but servants by whom ye believed, each one according to that which the Lord gave.

What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.

6 I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 S o then neither is he that plants anything, neither he that waters, but God that gives the increase.

So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 N ow he that plants and he that waters are one although each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 F or we are labourers together with God; ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

10 A ccording to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let each one see how the building is built.

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.

11 ¶ For no one can lay another foundation than that laid, which is Jesus the Christ.

For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 N ow if anyone builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,

But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 t he work of each one shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire; the work of each one, whatever sort it is, the fire shall put it to test.

each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.

14 I f the work of anyone abides which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.

15 I f anyone’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

16 ¶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 I f anyone defiles the temple of God, God shall destroy that one; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

18 ¶ Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you seems to be wise in this age, let them become a fool that they may be wise.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

19 F or the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

20 A nd again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.

21 ¶ Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

22 w hether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all are yours;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

23 a nd ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
