3: 1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto fleshly, as unto babes in Christ.
3: 2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: no, not 34even now are ye able;

3: 3 for ye are yet fleshly: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not fleshly, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?
3: 4 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?
3: 5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.
3: 6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
3: 7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
3: 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
3: 9 For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s 35husbandry, God’s building.

3: 10 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.
3: 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
3: 12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
3: 13 each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; 36and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.
36Or, and each man’s work, of what sort it is, the fire shall prove it.

3: 14 If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.
3: 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.
3: 16 Know ye not that ye are a 37temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
37Or, sanctuary (ναος, temple house) and both times in vs. 17.

3: 17 If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and 38such are ye.
38Or, which temple ye are.

3: 18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one thinketh that he is wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
3: 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, 39He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
39Job 5:13.

3: 20 and again, 40The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.
40Ps 94:11.

3: 21 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;
3: 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
3: 23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
