1 Corinthians 3:1-9

1And I, brethrenG80, couldG1410 not speakG2980 to you as to 1spiritualG4152 menG4152, but as to 2menG4560 of fleshG4560, as to 3infantsG3516 in ChristG5547. 2I gaveG4222 you 4milkG1051 to drinkG4222, not solid foodG1033; for you 5were not yetG3768 ableG1410 to receive it. IndeedG235, evenG3761 nowG3568 you are not yetG2089 ableG1410, 3for you are stillG2089 fleshlyG4559. For sinceG3699 there is 6jealousyG2205 and strifeG2054 amongG1722 you, are you not fleshlyG4559, and are you not walkingG4043 78likeG2596 mere menG444? 4For whenG3752 9oneG5100 saysG3004, “I amG1510 of PaulG3972,” and anotherG2087, “I am of ApollosG625,” are you not mere 10menG444?

5WhatG5101 thenG3767 is ApollosG625? And whatG5101 is PaulG3972? 11ServantsG1249 throughG1223 whomG3739 you believedG4100, evenG2532 12as the LordG2962 gaveG1325 opportunity to eachG1538 oneG1538. 613I plantedG5452, 14ApollosG625 wateredG4222, but 15GodG2316 was causingG837 the growthG837. 7SoG5620 thenG5620 neitherG3777 the one who plantsG5452 norG3777 the one who watersG4222 is anythingG5100, but GodG2316 who causesG837 the growthG837. 8NowG1161 he who plantsG5452 and he who watersG4222 are oneG1520; but eachG1538 will 16receiveG2983 his ownG2398 17rewardG3408 accordingG2596 to his ownG2398 laborG2873. 9For we are God’sG2316 18fellowG4904 workersG4904; you are God’sG2316 1920fieldG1091, God’sG2316 21buildingG3619.
