* And I , brethren , could not speak to you as to spiritual men , but as to men of the flesh , as babes in Christ . * I have fed you with milk , and not with solid food : for until now you were not able to bear it , nor are you yet able . * For you are still fleshly : for while there is among you envy , and strife , are you not fleshly , and walking as mere men ? * For while one says , I am of Paul ; and another , I am of Apollos ; are you not mere men ? * Who then is Paul , and who is Apollos , but ministers by whom you believed , as the Lord assigned to each his task ? * I have planted , Apollos watered ; but God gave the growth . * So then , neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything ; but only God who gives the growth . * Now he who plants and he who waters are equal : and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour . * For we are labourers together with God : you are God 's field , God 's building . * According to the grace of God which is given to me , as a wise master builder , I have laid the foundation , and another builds upon it . But let every man take heed how he builds upon it . * For no other foundation can man lay than that which is laid , which is Jesus Christ . * Now if any man builds upon this foundation with gold , silver , precious stones , wood , hay , or straw ; * Each man 's work shall be made manifest : for the day shall declare it , because it shall be revealed by fire ; and the fire shall test the quality of every man 's work . * If any man 's work remains , which he has built upon it , he shall receive a reward . * If any man 's work shall be burned , he shall suffer loss : but he himself shall be saved ; but only as through fire . * Do you not know that you are God 's temple , and that the Spirit of God dwells in you ? * If any man defiles God 's temple , God shall destroy him ; for the temple of God is holy , and you are that temple . * Let no man deceive himself . If any man among you thinks he is wise in this world , let him become a fool , that he may be wise . * For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God . For it is written , He catches the wise in their own craftiness . * And again , The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise , that they are futile . * Therefore , let no one glory 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 to come ; all are yours ; * And you are Christ 's ; and Christ is God 's .
