KJV-Parallel Bibles
1. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4. For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23. And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1. And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
2. I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
3. for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
4. For when one says, *I* am of Paul, and another, *I* of Apollos, are ye not men?
5. Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
6. *I* have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.
7. So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.
8. But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9. For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
10. According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.
11. For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12. Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
13. the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.
14. If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
15. If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but *he* shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.
16. Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17. If any one corrupt the temple of God, *him* shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are *ye*.
18. Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.
19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
20. And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
21. So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.
22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;
23. and *ye* [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
