1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of the flesh, as babes in Christ. 2I have fed you with milk, and not with solid food: for until now you were not able to bear it, nor are you yet able. 3For you are still fleshly: for while there is among you envy, and strife, are you not fleshly, and walking as mere men? 4For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not mere men? 5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each his task? 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the growth. 7So then, neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything; but only God who gives the growth. 8Now he who plants and he who waters are equal: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9For we are labourers together with God: you are God's field, God's building. 10According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let every man take heed how he builds upon it. 11For no other foundation can man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds upon this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw; 13Each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test the quality of every man's work. 14If any man's work remains, which he has built upon it, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; but only as through fire. 16Do you not know that you are God's temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If any man defiles God's temple, God shall destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple. 18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks he is wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness. 20And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile. 21Therefore, let no one glory in men. For all things are yours; 22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
