| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. |
| 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 neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his 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] | 10According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Do you not know that you 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 anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21So let no one boast in men. For 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 are yours, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. |
