* As for me , brothers , I could not talk to you as spiritual men , but as to creatures of flesh , mere babes in Christ . * I fed you milk , not meat ; for you were unable to bear it . * You are not able even now , for you are still unspiritual . While there is among you jealousy and strife , are you not still unspiritual , and behaving like worldlings ? * When one says , "I follow Paul ," and another , "I follow Apollos ," are you not mere worldlings ? * What then is Apollos ? What is Paul ? Just ministers through whom you have believed , and each doing the work that the Lord gave him . * I planted , Apollos watered , but God made the seed grow . * So neither is he who planted anything , nor he who watered , but God alone , who is making the seed grow . * Now , though he who plants and he who waters are one , each will receive his own reward , according to his own service . * For we are Gods fellow workers ; and you are Gods field , you are Gods building . * According to the grace of God vouchsafed me , like a skillful master - builder , I have laid a foundation ; but another will be building upon it . Let each take heed how he builds on it . * The foundation is already laid - Jesus Christ - and no man can lay another . * On that foundation , if a man proceeds to build gold , silver , precious stones , wood , hay , stubble , each mans work will be made manifest . * The Day will disclose it , for it dawns in fire , and the fire will test each mans work , of what quality it is . * If any mans work - the building he has made - stands the test , he will be rewarded . * If any mans work is burned up , he will suffer loss , but he himself will be saved , as it were through the flames . * Do you not know what you are Gods sanctuary , and that the Spirit of God is dwelling within you ? * If any one tear down Gods sanctuary , God will tear him down ; for the sanctuary of God is holy , and that is what you are . * Let no one deceive himself . If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age , let him become foolish , so that he may be wise . * For the philosophy of this world is foolishness in Gods sight . It is written , He snares the wise in their own craftiness , * and again , The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise , how futile they are . * So let no one make boast in men . For all things are yours ; * Paul , Apollos , Cephas , the world , life , death , things present or things to come ; all things are yours ; * and you are Christs , and Christ is Gods .
