1 And{G2532} I{G1473}, brethren{G80}, could{G1410}{(G5675)} not{G3756} speak{G2980}{(G5658)} unto you{G5213} as{G5613} unto spiritual{G4152}, but{G235} as{G5613} unto carnal{G4559}, even as{G5613} unto babes{G3516} in{G1722} Christ{G5547}.

2 I have fed{G4222}{(G5656)} you{G5209} with milk{G1051}, and{G2532} not{G3756} with meat{G1033}: for{G1063} hitherto{G3768} ye were{G1410} not{G3768} able{G1410}{(G5711)} to bear it, neither{G235}{G3777} yet{G2089} now{G3568} are ye able{G1410}{(G5736)}.

3 For{G1063} ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} yet{G2089} carnal{G4559}: for{G1063} whereas{G3699} there is among{G1722} you{G5213} envying{G2205}, and{G2532} strife{G2054}, and{G2532} divisions{G1370}, are ye{G2075}{(G5748)} not{G3780} carnal{G4559}, and{G2532} walk{G4043}{(G5719)} as{G2596} men{G444}?

4 For{G1063} while{G3752} one{G5100} saith{G3004}{(G5725)}, I{G1473}{G3303} am{G1510}{(G5748)} of Paul{G3972}; and{G1161} another{G2087}, I{G1473} am of Apollos{G625}; are{G2075} ye{(G5748)} not{G3780} carnal{G4559}?

5 Who{G5101} then{G3767} is{G2076}{(G5748)} Paul{G3972}, and{G1161} who{G5101} is Apollos{G625}, but{G235}{G2228} ministers{G1249} by{G1223} whom{G3739} ye believed{G4100}{(G5656)}, even{G2532} as{G5613} the Lord{G2962} gave{G1325}{(G5656)} to every man{G1538}?

6 I{G1473} have planted{G5452}{(G5656)}, Apollos{G625} watered{G4222}{(G5656)}; but{G235} God{G2316} gave the increase{G837}{(G5707)}.

7 So{G5620} then neither{G3777} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he that planteth{G5452}{(G5723)} any thing{G5100}, neither{G3777} he that watereth{G4222}{(G5723)}; but{G235} God{G2316} that giveth the increase{G837}{(G5723)}.

8 Now{G1161} he that planteth{G5452}{(G5723)} and{G2532} he that watereth{G4222}{(G5723)} are{G1526}{(G5748)} one{G1520}: and{G1161} every man{G1538} shall receive{G2983}{(G5695)} his own{G2398} reward{G3408} according{G2596} to his own{G2398} labour{G2873}.

9 For{G1063} we are{G2070}{(G5748)} labourers together{G4904} with God{G2316}: ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} God's{G2316} husbandry{G1091}, ye are God's{G2316} building{G3619}.

10 According{G2596} to the grace{G5485} of God{G2316} which{G3588} is given{G1325}{(G5685)} unto me{G3427}, as{G5613} a wise{G4680} masterbuilder{G753}, I have laid{G5087}{(G5758)} the foundation{G2310}, and{G1161} another{G243} buildeth{G2026}{(G5719)} thereon. But{G1161} let{G991} every man{G1538} take heed{G991}{(G5720)} how{G4459} he buildeth{G2026}{(G5719)} thereupon.

11 For{G1063} other{G243} foundation{G2310} can{G1410}{(G5736)} no man{G3762} lay{G5087}{(G5629)} than{G3844} that is laid{G2749}{(G5740)}, which{G3739} is{G2076}{(G5748)} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}.

12 Now{G1161} if any man{G1536} build{G2026}{(G5719)} upon{G1909} this{G5126} foundation{G2310} gold{G5557}, silver{G696}, precious{G5093} stones{G3037}, wood{G3586}, hay{G5528}, stubble{G2562};

13 Every man's{G1538} work{G2041} shall be made{G1096}{(G5695)} manifest{G5318}: for{G1063} the day{G2250} shall declare{G1213}{(G5692)} it, because{G3754} it shall be revealed{G601}{(G5743)} by{G1722} fire{G4442}; and{G2532} the fire{G4442} shall try{G1381}{(G5692)} every man's{G1538} work{G2041} of what sort{G3697} it is{G2076}{(G5748)}.

14 If any man's{G1536} work{G2041} abide{G3306}{(G5719)} which{G3739} he hath built{G2026}{(G5656)} thereupon, he shall receive{G2983}{(G5695)} a reward{G3408}.

15 If any man's{G1536} work{G2041} shall be burned{G2618}{(G5691)}, he shall suffer loss{G2210}{(G5701)}: but{G1161} he himself{G846} shall be saved{G4982}{(G5701)}; yet{G1161} so{G3779} as{G5613} by{G1223} fire{G4442}.

16 Know ye{G1492}{(G5758)} not{G3756} that{G3754} ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} the temple{G3485} of God{G2316}, and{G2532} that the Spirit{G4151} of God{G2316} dwelleth{G3611}{(G5719)} in{G1722} you{G5213}?

17 If any man{G1536} defile{G5351}{(G5719)} the temple{G3485} of God{G2316}, him{G5126} shall{G5351} God{G2316} destroy{G5351}{(G5692)}; for{G1063} the temple{G3485} of God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} holy{G40}, which{G3748} temple ye{G5210} are{G2075}{(G5748)}.

18 Let{G1818} no man{G3367} deceive{G1818}{(G5720)} himself{G1438}. If any man{G1536} among{G1722} you{G5213} seemeth{G1380}{(G5719)} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} wise{G4680} in{G1722} this{G5129} world{G165}, let him become{G1096}{(G5634)} a fool{G3474}, that{G2443} he may be{G1096}{(G5638)} wise{G4680}.

19 For{G1063} the wisdom{G4678} of this{G5127} world{G2889} is{G2076}{(G5748)} foolishness{G3472} with{G3844} God{G2316}. For{G1063} it is written{G1125}{(G5769)}, He taketh{G1405}{(G5740)} the wise{G4680} in{G1722} their own{G846} craftiness{G3834}.

20 And{G2532} again{G3825}, The Lord{G2962} knoweth{G1097}{(G5719)} the thoughts{G1261} of the wise{G4680}, that{G3754} they are{G1526}{(G5748)} vain{G3152}.

21 Therefore{G5620} let{G2744} no man{G3367} glory{G2744}{(G5737)} in{G1722} men{G444}. For{G1063} all things{G3956} are{G2076}{(G5748)} yours{G5216};

22 Whether{G1535} Paul{G3972}, or{G1535} Apollos{G625}, or{G1535} Cephas{G2786}, or{G1535} the world{G2889}, or{G1535} life{G2222}, or{G1535} death{G2288}, or{G1535} things present{G1764}{(G5761)}, or{G1535} things to come{G3195}{(G5723)}; all{G3956} are{G2076}{(G5748)} yours{G5216};

23 And{G1161} ye{G5210} are Christ's{G5547}; and{G1161} Christ{G5547} is God's{G2316}.
