- And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.
- I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,
- for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?
- For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?
- What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.
|
- I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
- So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
- Now he who plants and he 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 which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.
|
- For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
- each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.
- If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.
- If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
|
- Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
- Let no man deceive himself If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.
- For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";
- and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."
|
- So then let no one boast in men For all things belong to you,
- whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,
- and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
