[1] And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.
[2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for till now you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.
[3] For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?
[4] For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?
[5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
[6] I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
[7] So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
[8] Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
[9] For we are laborers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building.
[10] According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
[11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
[12] Now if any man build on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
[13] Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
[14] If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
[15] If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
[16] Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
[17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
[18] Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
[19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own craftiness.
[20] And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
[21] Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
[22] Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
