¹Yet I myself, brothers, was not able to speak to you as one does to spiritual people, but only as one does to carnal people, as to infants in Christ. ²I have given you milk to drink rather than food, for you were not yet able to take it, and even now you still can't, ³for you are still carnal, for where there is rivalry among you, and strife, and dissensions, are you not carnal and do you not walk according to man? ⁴For whenever a person says, “I am of Paul”, and another, “I am of Apollos”, are you not carnal? ⁵Well who is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you came to believe, and each has a ministry according to what the Lord gave him? ⁶I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. ⁷So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but God who gives the growth. ⁸But he who plants and he who waters are one agency. And each will receive his own reward according to his own labour. ⁹For we are God's co-workers; you are God's cultivated field – God's building. ¹⁰I have laid a foundation as a wise master-builder, according to the grace of God given to me, and another is building on it. But let each one watch how he builds on it. ¹¹For no-one can lay any other foundation than the one which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹²But if anyone builds gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw on this foundation, ¹³each person's work will become manifest. For the day will show it, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will prove what kind of work each person's is. ¹⁴If anyone's work which he has built on remains, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone's work is burnt up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but this is how: as through fire. ¹⁶Do you not know that you are the sanctuary of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷If anyone spoils the sanctuary of God, God will spoil him. For the sanctuary of God is holy, which is what you are. ¹⁸Let no-one deceive himself. If anyone among you considers himself to be wise in this age, let him become foolish, in order that he may become wise. ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it stands written: “He catches the wise in their own cunning.” ²⁰And again: “The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise – that they are vain.” ²¹So let no-one among men boast, for all things are yours, ²²whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death, whether present or future – everything is yours, ²³and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
