1 A nd I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly -- 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 w ith milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now 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 yet ye are fleshly, for where among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

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 may say, `I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, `I -- of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

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 Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as 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 planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

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

7 s o that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;

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

8 a nd he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, 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 of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

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

10 A ccording to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on,

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 other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

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

12 a nd if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --

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

13 o f each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

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 of any one the work doth remain that he built on, a wage he shall receive;

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

15 i f of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but 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 h ave ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

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

17 i f any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which 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 L et no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you 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 hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their 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 doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'

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

21 S o then, 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 about to be -- 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 Christ's, and Christ God's.

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