1 Corinthians 3:1-9 ▼

1 SO I, my brethren, could not converse with you as with spiritual men, but as with worldly men and even as with little children in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto you were unable to eat it, and even now you are not ready for it;

3 Because you are still worldly: for as long as there is among you envying and strife and divisions, are you not worldly and still following after the material things?

4 For while one says, I am a follower of Paul; and another, I am a follower of Apollos; are you not worldly?

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you were converted; each one is gifted according as the LORD gave to him.

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither he who plants, nor he who waters deserves the credit; but God who gives the increase.

8 Thus the planter and the waterer are equal: and each one shall receive his own wages according to his own labor.

9 For we work together with God: you are God’s work and God’s building.
