1 Corinthians 3

¹And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — as to babes in Christ;

²with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,

³for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

⁴for when one may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I — of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

⁵Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

⁶I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

⁷so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;

⁸and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

⁹for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

¹⁰According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],

¹¹for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

¹²and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw —

¹³of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;
