New International Version NIV
New Revised Standard NRS
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.
1
And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
2
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready,
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?
3
for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
4
For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," are you not merely human?
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.
5
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each.
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.
6
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
7
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.
8
The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each.
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
9
For we are God's servants, working together; you are God's field, God's building.
