1 Corinthians 3

¹And I could not speake vnto you, brethren, as vnto spirituall men, but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ.

²I gaue you milke to drinke, and not meat: for yee were not yet able to beare it, neither yet nowe are yee able.

³For yee are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men?

⁴For when one sayeth, I am Pauls, and another, I am Apollos, are yee not carnall?

⁵Who is Paul then? and who is Apollos, but the ministers by whome yee beleeued, and as the Lord gaue to euery man?

⁶I haue planted, Apollos watred, but God gaue the increase.

⁷So then, neither is hee that planteth any thing, neither hee that watreth, but God that giueth the increase.

⁸And he that planteth, and he that watreth, are one, and euery man shall receiue his wages, according to his labour.

⁹For we together are Gods labourers: yee are Gods husbandrie, and Gods building.

¹⁰According to the grace of God giuen to mee, as a skilfull master builder, I haue laide the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let euery man take heede how he buildeth vpon it.

¹¹For other foundation can no man laie, then that which is laied, which is Iesus Christ.

¹²And if any man builde on this foundation, golde, siluer, precious stones, timber, haye, or stubble,

¹³Euery mans worke shalbe made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shalbe reueiled by the fire: and the fire shall trie euery mans worke of what sort it is.
