1 Corinthians 3:1-9
- 1
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.
- 2
I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.
- 3
For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal, and walk according to man?
- 4
For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?
- 5
The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.
- 6
I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.
- 7
Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
- 8
Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.
- 9
For we are God’s coadjutors: you are God’s husbandry; you are God’s building.
