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, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to 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 have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet 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 among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

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

For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I 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.

Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.

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

I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.

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

So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of 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.

But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

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-workmen; 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 has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.

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

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

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

Now if any one build upon foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,

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.

the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.

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

If the work of any one which he has built upon shall abide, 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 the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through fire.

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

Do ye not know that ye are temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells 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 one corrupt 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 one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be 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 who takes the wise in their craftiness.

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

And again, Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.

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

So that let no one boast 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 world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;

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

and ye Christ's, and Christ God's.
