| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. |
