1 Corinthians 3:1

Sectarianism Is Carnal

1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to ^ababes in Christ.

2 I fed you with ^amilk and not with solid food; ^bfor until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and¹ behaving like mere men?

4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

Watering, Working, Warning

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ^aministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

6 ^aI planted, ^bApollos watered, ^cbut God gave the increase.

And I, brethren - He spoke before, I Corinthians 2:1, of his entrance, now of his progress, among them. Could not speak to you as unto spiritual - Adult, experienced Christians. But as unto men who were still in great measure carnal, as unto babes in Christ - Still weak in grace, though eminent in gifts, I Corinthians 1:5.
