| 1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as
unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not with
meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nay, not even now are ye
able; 3 for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and
strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?
4 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye
not men? 5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom
ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him. 6 I planted, Apollos
watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth
anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall
receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's
fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building. 10 According to
the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a
foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he
buildeth thereon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which
is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 But if any man buildeth on the
foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 each man's
work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is
revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what
sort it is. 14 If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, 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 through fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall
God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye. 18 Let no man
deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world,
let him become a fool, that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this
world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in
their craftiness: 20 and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the
wise that they are vain. 21 Wherefore 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 to come; all are yours;
23 and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
