3:1  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.

3:2  I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able `to bear it': nay, not even now are ye able;

3:3  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?

3:4  For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?

3:5  What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.

3:6  I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

3:7  So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

3:8  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

3:9  For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

3:10  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.

3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

3:12  But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;

3:13  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.

3:14  If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.

3:15  If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

3:16  Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and `that' the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

3:17  If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

3:18  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.

3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

3:20  and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.

3:21  Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

3:22  whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

3:23  and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
