1
And I brethren could not speak unto you as unto spiritual but as unto carnal even as unto babes in Christ
2
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
3
For ye are yet carnal for whereas there is among you envying and strife and divisions are ye not carnal and walk as men
4
For while one saith I am of Paul and another I am of Apollos are ye not carnal
5
Who then is Paul and who is Apollos but ministers by whom ye believed even as the Lord gave to every man
6
I have planted Apollos watered but God gave the increase
7
So then neither is he that planteth any thing neither he that watereth but God that giveth the increase
8
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour
9
For we are labourers together with God ye are God’s husbandry ye are God’s building
10
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
11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ
12
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold silver precious stones wood hay stubble
13
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
14
If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon 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 by fire
16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you
17
If any man defile the temple of God him shall God destroy for the temple of God is holy which temple ye are
18
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
19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God For it is written He taketh the wise in their own craftiness
20
And again The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they are vain
21
Therefore let no man 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 hrist’s and Christ is God’s
