| 1 And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ. |
|
| 2 I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able; |
|
| 3 for ye are yet carnal. For whereas there are among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man? |
|
| 4 For when one says, *I* am of Paul, and another, *I* of Apollos, are ye not men? |
|
| 5 Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each. |
|
| 6 *I* have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase. |
|
| 7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase. |
|
| 8 But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. |
|
| 9 For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building. |

|
| 10 According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it. |
|
| 11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
|
|
| 12 Now if any one build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, |
|
| 13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is. |
|
| 14 If the work of any one which he has built upon the foundation shall abide, he shall receive a reward. |
|
| 15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through the fire. |

|
| 16 Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? |
|
| 17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*. |

|
| 18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. |
|
| 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes 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 knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain. |
|
| 21 So that let no one boast 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 coming, all are yours; |
|
| 23 and *ye* are Christ's, and Christ is God's. |
