[1] And I, brethren, might not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly men; as to little children in Christ,
[2] I gave to you milk to drink, not meat (or solid food); for ye might not yet understand, neither ye may now (or nor can ye now),
[3] for yet ye be fleshly. For while envy and strife is among you, whether ye be not fleshly, and ye go after man?
[4] For when some saith, I am of Paul, and another, But I am of Apollos, whether ye be not [fleshly] men?
[5] What therefore is Apollos, and what Paul? They be ministers (or servants) of him, to whom ye have believed; and to each man as God hath given.
[6] I planted, Apollos moisted (or Apollos watered), but God gave increasing.
[7] Therefore neither he that planteth is anything, neither he that moisteth (or nor he who watereth), but God that giveth increasing.
[8] And he that planteth, and he that moisteth, be one; and each shall take his own meed, after his travail. (And he who planteth, and he who watereth, be one; and each shall receive his own reward, according to his labour.)
[9] For we be the helpers of God; ye be the earth-tilling of God, ye be the building of God.
[10] After the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master carpenter I setted the foundament, (or By the grace of God that is given to me, like a wise master carpenter I set the foundation); and another buildeth above. But each man see, how he buildeth above, [or Soothly each man see, how and what things he buildeth upon].
[11] For no man may set another foundament, except [or besides] that that is set, which is Christ Jesus. (And no other foundation can be laid by any man, besides that which was laid, which is the Messiah Jesus.)
[12] For if any man buildeth over [or upon] this foundament, (with) gold, silver, precious stones, sticks, hay, or stubble,
[13] every man's work shall be open; for the day of the Lord shall declare (it), for it shall be showed in fire; the fire shall prove the work of each man, what manner work it is.
[14] If the work of any man dwell still, which he builded above [or upon], he shall receive meed (or he shall receive a reward).
[15] If any man's work burn, he shall suffer harm, either impairing; but he shall be safe, so nevertheless as by fire, (or but he shall be saved, as if from a fire).
[16] Know ye not, that ye be the temple of God, (or Do ye not know, that ye be God's temple), and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
[17] And if any [man] defouleth the temple of God, God shall lose him; for the temple of God is holy, which ye be. (And if any man defileth God's temple, God shall destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which ye be.)
[18] No man deceive himself. If any man among you is seen to be wise in this world, be he made a fool, (so) that he be (truly) wise.
[19] For the wisdom of this world is folly with God (or For this world's wisdom is foolishness to God); for it is written, I shall catch wise men in their fell wisdom, [or subtle guile];
[20] and again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of wise men, for those be vain (or for they be empty and useless).
[21] Therefore no man have glory in men (or And so let no man boast about men). For all things be yours,
[22] either Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas (or Peter), either the world, either life, either death, either things present, either things to coming [or either things to come]; for all things be yours,
[23] and ye be of Christ, and Christ is of God. (and ye be of the Messiah, and the Messiah is of God.)
