1 Corinthians 3:1-9
1And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as 1spiritual people, but only as 2fleshly, as to 3infants in Christ. 2I gave you 4milk to drink, not solid food; for you 5were not yet able to consume it. But 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 7like ordinary people? 4For when 8one person says, “I am 9with Paul,” and another, “I am 10with Apollos,” are you not ordinary 11people?
5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? 12Servants through whom you believed, even 13as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 614I planted, 15Apollos watered, but 16God 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 the one who plants and the one who waters are one; but each will 17receive his own 18reward according to his own labor. 9For we are God’s 19fellow workers; you are God’s 2021field, God’s 22building.
