| 1 I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh–as unto babes in Christ:– |
|
| 2 With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able;–nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able, |
|
| 3 For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking? |
|
| 4 For, as soon as one beginneth to say–I, indeed, am of Paul! and another–I, of Apollos! are ye not, men? |
|
| |
|
| 5 What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him. |
|
| 6 I, planted, Apollos, watered,–but, God, caused to, grow. |
|
| 7 So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth,–but, God, who causeth to, grow. |
|
| 8 Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one:–howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive,–according to his own labour. |
|
| 9 For we are, God's, fellow-workmen: ye are, God's, farm, God's building. |
|
| 10 According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon; |
|
| |
|
| 11 For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ. |
|
| 12 But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation–gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, |
|
| 13 Each one's work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed,–and, each one's work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove:– |
|
| 14 If, anyone's work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive,– |
|
| 15 If, anyone's work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved–though, thus, as through fire. |
|
| |
|
| 16 Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell? |
|
| 17 If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy,–and such are ye. |
|
| |
|
| 18 Let no one be deceiving himself:–if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise; |
|
| 19 For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written–He that taketh the wise in their knavery,– |
Of this World – This is correctly translated as "world." In the previous verse the KJV uses the word "world," but there the word is:which is better translated "age." That word is used in Matt. 24:3 when the disciples ask of Jesus "what shall be the sign.. of the end of the "age." |
| 20 And again–The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain. |
|
| |
|
| 21 So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; 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, |
|
| 23 And, ye, are Christ's,–and, Christ, is, God's. |
