1 Corinthians 3:1-9 ▼

1 Brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ.

2 I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now,

3 for you are still of the flesh. While there is jealousy and rivalry among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving in an ordinary human way?

4 Whenever someone says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely human?

5 What is Apollos, after all, and what is Paul? Ministers through whom you became believers, just as the Lord assigned each one.

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

7 Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth.

8 The one who plants and the one who waters are equal, and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor.

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