King James Version KJV
Lexham English Bible LEB
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1
And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual [people], but as to fleshly [people], as to 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 to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able [to eat it]. But now you are still not able,
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
for you are still fleshly. For where [there is] jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and do you not live like [unregenerate] people?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
4
For whenever anyone says, "I am with Paul," and another, "I [am] with Apollos," are you not [merely] human?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
5
Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
6
I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing [it] to grow.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
7
So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who is causing [it] to 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
Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
9
For we are God's fellow workers; 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
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon [it]. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon [it].
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11
For no one is able to lay another foundation than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
12
Now if anyone builds upon the foundation [with] gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
13
the work of each one will become evident. For the day will reveal [it], because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the work of each one, of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
14
If anyone's work that he has built upon [it] remains, he will receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
15
If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
16
Do you not know that you are God's temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
17
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy this one. For God's temple is holy, which you are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
18
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks [himself] to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, in order that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written, "The one who catches the wise in their craftiness,"
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
20
and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
21
So then, let no one boast in people. For all [things] are yours,
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
22
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all [things] [are] yours,
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
23
and you [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
