1 A nd I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to 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 fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not 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 you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere 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 when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? Watering, Working, Warning

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

5 W ho then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

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

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

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

7 S o then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who 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 who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

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 God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you 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 was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

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 F or no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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

12 N ow if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

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

13 e ach one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

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 anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will 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 is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through 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 D o you not know that you 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 will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. Avoid Worldly Wisdom

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

18 L et no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become 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 catches 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 L ord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

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

21 T herefore let no one boast 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 you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

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