And I, brothers and sisters, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual people, but as to people of the flesh, as to babies in Christ.
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to receive it. No, even now you are not able,
for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and are you not walking like unsaved people?
For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each serving as the Lord gave to him.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only the one who is giving the increase—God!
Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But let each one be careful how he builds on it.
For no one is able to lay a foundation other than the one that has already been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
But if anyone builds on the foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, straw—
each one’s work will become plainly seen, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire itself will test each one’s work, and show of what kind it is.
If anyone’s work that he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.
If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but it will be like escaping through a fire.
Do you not know that all of you together are God’s sanctuary, and that the spirit of God lives in you?
If anyone mars the sanctuary of God, God will mar him, for the sanctuary of God, which all of you together are, is holy.
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, so that he becomes wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He is the one catching the wise in their craftiness,
and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are worthless.
So, let no one boast about human beings! For everything is yours,
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, everything is yours,
