1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly, as to infants in Christ.
2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to bear it, and even now you are still not able,
3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife and divisions among you, are you not fleshly and walking in a merely human way?
4 For whenever one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I of Apollos," are you not fleshly?
5 Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each?
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
7 So neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's cultivated field, God's building.
10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid a foundation, and another builds upon it. But let each one take heed how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay another foundation than the one that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stubble,
13 each one's work will become manifest; for the Day will make it plain, because it is revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone's work which he has built upon it remains, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness";
20 and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 So 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 to come, all are yours,
23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
