1 Corinthians 3:1-9 ▼

1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.

2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,

3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension and division among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?

4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not of the flesh?

5 Who then is Paul? And who is Apollos? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.

6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.

7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

8 He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
