3:1 Brothers, I couldn`t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babes in Christ.

3:2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren`t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

3:3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren`t you fleshly, and don`t you walk in the ways of men?

3:4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren`t you fleshly?

3:5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you 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 he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

3:9 For we are God`s fellow workers. You are God`s farming, God`s building.

3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

3:12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

3:13 each man`s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man`s work is.

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

3:15 If any man`s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

3:16 Don`t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God`s Spirit lives in you?

3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God`s temple is holy, which you are.

3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks 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 has taken the wise in their craftiness."

3:20 And again, "The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless."

3:21 Therefore let no one boast 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,
