| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For my part, brothers and sisters, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, since you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3because you are still worldly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For whenever someone says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not acting like mere humans? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9For we are God's coworkers. You are God's field, God's building. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10According to God's grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one is to be careful how he builds on it. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13each one's work will become obvious. For the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire; the fire will test the quality of each one's work. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If anyone's work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If anyone's work is burned up, he will experience loss, but he himself will be saved--but only as through fire. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Don't you yourselves know that you are God's temple and that the Spirit of God lives 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 that is what you are. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a fool so that he can become wise. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since 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 reasonings of the wise are futile. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21So let no one boast in human leaders, for everything is yours-- |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come--everything is yours, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. |
