New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Corinthians 3:1-9
1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to 1spiritual men, but as to 2men of flesh, as to 3infants in Christ. 2I gave you 4milk to drink, not solid food; for you 5were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 3for you are still fleshly. For since there is 6jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking 78like mere men? 4For when 9one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere 10men?
5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? 11Servants through whom you believed, even 12as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 613I planted, 14Apollos watered, but 15God was causing the growth. 7So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will 16receive his own 17reward according to his own labor. 9For we are God’s 18fellow workers; you are God’s 1920field, God’s 21building.
