3:1   And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

3:2  I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you could not yet receive it. Indeed, even now you don't seem able to consume it.

3:3  for you still find yourself with fleshly drives,for since jealousy and strife exist among you, don't you still have flesh, and don't you walk like mere men.

3:4   For when one says, "I belong to Paul," and another, "I belong to Apollos," do you aspire to more than mortal humanity?

3:5  What then does Apollos represent? And what does Paul represent? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

3:6   I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.

3:7   So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters consists of anything, but God causes the growth.

3:8   Now he who plants and he who waters show a unity of purpose; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

3:9   For we serve as God's fellow workers; you represent God's field, God's building.

3:10   According to the grace of God which He gave to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another built on it. But each man must show care how he builds on it.

3:11   For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which God laid, namely Jesus Christ.

3:12   Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

3:13   each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because will become revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

3:14   If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.

3:15  If any man's work burns up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will receive salvation, yet so as through fire.

3:16   Do you not know that you represent a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

3:17   If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God has holiness, you have holiness too.

3:18   Let no man deceive himself If any man among you thinks himself wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

3:19   For the wisdom of this world proves foolishness before God For the scriptures state, "HE CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS";

3:20   and again, " THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY PROVE USELESS."

3:21   So then let no one boast in men For all things belong to you,

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

3:23  and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.
