1 Corinthians 3 I ALSO, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I ALSO, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ. ² I fed you with milk, and not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it; nay, nor even now are ye able. ³ For ye are yet carnal; for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk as men? ⁴ For when one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? ⁵ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each one? ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. ⁷ So then neither is he that plants anything, nor he that waters; but God that gives the increase. ⁸ And he that plants and he that waters are one; and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's field, God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master-builder I laid a foundation, and another builds thereon. But let each one take heed how he builds thereon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² And if any one builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ¹³ the work of each one will be made manifest; for the day will show it, because it is revealed in fire, and the fire itself will prove of what sort is each one's work. ¹⁴ If any one's work which he built thereon remains, he will receive reward. ¹⁵ If any one's work shall be burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved; yet so as through fire. ¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are God's temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If any one defiles the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, the which are ye. ¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: He that takes the wise in their craftiness. ²⁰ And again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, That they are vain. ²¹ So then, let no one glory in men. For all things are yours; ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all are yours; ²³ and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
