1
But I, brethren, could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as babes 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,
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?
4
For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apol'los," are you not merely men?
5
What then is Apol'los? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
6
I planted, Apol'los watered, but God gave the growth.
7
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
8
He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labor.
9
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
10
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it.
