New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants 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 gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet 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 you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere 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 am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?
4
For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.
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, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
6
I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
7
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own 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.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.
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.
