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

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

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

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

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given 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 that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of 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,

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

9 f or of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

For we are God's fellow-workmen; 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 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 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 besides that which laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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

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

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;

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

If the work of any one which he has built upon shall abide, 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 the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but 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?

Do ye not know that ye are temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells 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 one corrupt 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 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 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 who takes the wise in their craftiness.

20 a nd again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'

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

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

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