Opening the chapter…

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to infants in Christ.
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able. Indeed, even now, you are not able. \*
For you are still fleshly. For where {there is} jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and walking according to men?
For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not men?
Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one. \*
I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused {it} to grow.
So then, neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but God {is} the one causing the growth. \*
Now the one planting and the one watering are one, and each will receive his own wages according to his own labor.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. \*
According to the grace of God that was given to me as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, and another is building {on it}, but let each one be careful how he builds {on it},
for no one is able to lay a foundation other than the one being laid, that is, Jesus Christ. \*
Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
the work of each one will become evident, for the day will display {it}; for it is revealed in fire, and the fire itself will test of what sort is the work of each one. \*
If anyone’s work that he built will remain, he will receive a reward;
if anyone’s work will be burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as though through fire. \*
Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God lives in you?
If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy that {person}. For the temple of God is holy, which you are. \*
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a “fool,” that he may become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
And again, “The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.” \*
So then, let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things coming. All {things are} yours,
and you {are} Christ’s, and Christ {is} God’s. \*
