1 Corinthians 3:1-9

RSV

NIV

1 But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes in Christ.
1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ.
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready,
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men?
3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?
4 For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
5 What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.
6 I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth.
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
8 He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.
9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
