| 1 | And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. | And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. |
| 2 | I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. | I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able; |
| 3 | For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? | for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men? |
| 4 | For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? | For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men? |
| 5 | Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? | What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him. |
| 6 | I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. | I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. |
| 7 | So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. | So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. |
| 8 | Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. | Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. |
| 9 | For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. | For we are God`s fellow-workers: ye are God`s husbandry, God`s building. |
| 10 | According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. | According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon. |
| 11 | For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. | For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
| 12 | Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; | But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; |
| 13 | Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. | each man`s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man`s work of what sort it is. |
| 14 | If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. | If any man`s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward. |
| 15 | If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. | If any man`s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire. |
| 16 | Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? | Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
| 17 | If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. | If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye. |
| 18 | Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. | Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. |
| 19 | For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. | For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness: |
| 20 | And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. | and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain. |
| 21 | Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; | Wherefore let no one glory 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 your's; | 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. | and ye are Christ`s; and Christ is God`s. |
