| 1 | And I , brethren , could not speak unto you as unto spiritual , but as unto carnal , [even] as unto babes in Christ . |
| 2 | 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 . |
| 3 | For ye are yet carnal : for whereas [there is] among you envying , and strife , and divisions , are ye not carnal , and walk as men ? |
| 4 | For while one saith , I am of Paul ; and another , I [am] of Apollos ; are ye not carnal ? |
| 5 | Who then is Paul , and who [is] Apollos , but ministers by whom ye 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 planteth any thing , neither he that watereth ; but God that giveth the increase . |
| 8 | Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one : and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour . |
| 9 | 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 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 ; |
| 23 | And ye are Christ's ; and Christ [is] God's . |
