1As for me, brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual men, but as to creatures of flesh, mere babes in Christ. 2I fed you milk, not meat; for you were unable to bear it. 3You are not able even now, for you are still unspiritual. While there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not still unspiritual, and behaving like worldlings? 4When one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere worldlings?¶ 5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Just ministers through whom you have believed, and each doing the work that the Lord gave him. 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God made the seed grow. 7So neither is he who planted anything, nor he who watered, but God alone, who is making the seed grow. 8Now, though he who plants and he who waters are one, each will receive his own reward, according to his own service. 9For we are God’s fellow workers; and you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10According to the grace of God vouchsafed me, like a skillful master- builder, I have laid a foundation; but another will be building upon it. Let each take heed how he builds on it.¶ 11The foundation is already laid - Jesus Christ - and no man can lay another. 12On that foundation, if a man proceeds to build gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, each man’s work will be made manifest. 13The Day will disclose it, for it dawns in fire, and the fire will test each man’s work, of what quality it is. 14If any man’s work - the building he has made - stands the test, he will be rewarded. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, as it were through the flames.¶ 16Do you not know what you are God’s sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God is dwelling within you? 17If any one tear down God’s sanctuary, God will tear him down; for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what you are.¶ 18Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise. 19For the philosophy of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. It is written, He snares the wise in their own craftiness, 20and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, how futile they are.¶ 21So let no one make boast in men. For all things are yours; 22Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things present or things to come; all things are yours; 23and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.¶
