001 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
002 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.
003 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
004 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
005 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
006 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
007 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
009 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
010 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.
011 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
012 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
013 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.
014 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
015 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
016 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
017 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
018 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.
019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
020 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
021 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
022 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
023 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
