And I,
brethren, could not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes
in Christ.
02 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither
yet now are ye able.
03 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is
among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are
ye not carnal, and walk as men?
04 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and
another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
05 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but
ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord
gave to every man?
06 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave
the increase.
07 So then neither is he that planteth any thing,
neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the
increase.
08 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are
one: and every man shall receive his own reward
according to his own labour.
09 For we are labourers together with God: ye are
God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the
foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let
every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that
is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon 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 hath 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 ye not that ye are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall
God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which
temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among
you seemeth 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 taketh the wise
in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of
the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all
things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the
world, or life, or death, or things present, or
things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
