1 Corinthians 3:1-7 ▼

1 For 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 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, since you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready,

3 because you are still worldly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans?

4 For whenever someone says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not acting like mere humans?

5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

7 So, then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
