| 1 And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly as to babes in Christ; |
|
| 2 with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able, |
|
| 3 for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk |
|
| 4 for when one may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly |
|
| 5 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave |
|
| 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth; |
|
| 7 so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth God; |
|
| 8 and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour, |
|
| 9 for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are. |
|
| 10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],
|
|
| 11 for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; |
|
| 12 and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw |
|
| 13 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; |
|
| 14 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive; |
|
| 15 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. |
|
| 16 have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you |
|
| 17 if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are. |
|
| |
|
| 18 Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age let him become a fool, that he may become wise, |
|
| 19 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;' |
Of this World – This is correctly translated as "world." In the previous verse the KJV uses the word "world," but there the word is:which is better translated "age." That word is used in Matt. 24:3 when the disciples ask of Jesus "what shall be the sign.. of the end of the "age." |
| 20 and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.' |
|
| 21 So then, let no one 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 about to be all are yours, |
|
| 23 and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's. |
