1 Corinthians 3:1-10

KJV

NIV

1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto 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 have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as 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 while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
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 have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
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 labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.
