1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing 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 God who causes the growth. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward 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] | 10According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, |
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; all things belong to you, |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God. |
