1 And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able, 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 and behaving like men?4 For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are you not carnal?5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believe, as the Lord gave to each one?6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow.7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.11 For no one is able to lay any other foundation than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,13 each one’s work will be revealed; for the Day will declare it, because it will be disclosed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.15 If anyone’s work is consumed, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise.19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness;20 and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.21 Therefore 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 to come; all are yours.23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

1 And Y, britheren, myyte not speke to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleischli men;2 as to litle children in Crist, Y yaf to you mylk drynke, not mete; for ye myyten not yit, nether ye moun now, for yit ye ben fleischli.3 For while strijf is among you, whether ye ben not fleischli, and ye gon aftir man?4 For whanne summe seith, Y am of Poul, another, But Y am of Apollo, whethir ye ben not men? What therfor is Apollo, and what Poul?5 Thei ben mynystris of hym, to whom ye han bileuyd; and to ech man as God hath youun.6 Y plauntide, Apollo moystide, but God yaf encreessyng.7 Therfor nether he that plauntith is ony thing, nethir he that moistith, but God that yiueth encreessyng.8 And he that plauntith, and he that moistith, ben oon; and ech schal take his owne mede, aftir his trauel.9 For we ben the helperis of God; ye ben the erthetiliyng of God, ye ben the bildyng of God.10 Aftir the grace `of God that is youun to me, as a wise maistir carpenter Y settide the foundement; and another bildith aboue. But ech man se, hou he bildith aboue.11 For no man may sette another foundement, outtakun that that is sett, which is Crist Jhesus.12 For if ony bildith ouer this foundement, gold, siluer, preciouse stoonys, stickis, hey, or stobil, euery mannus werk schal be open;13 for the dai of the Lord schal declare, for it schal be schewid in fier; the fier schal preue the werk of ech man, what maner werk it is.14 If the werk of ony man dwelle stille, which he bildide aboue, he schal resseyue mede.15 If ony mannus werk brenne, he schal suffre harm; but he schal be saaf, so netheles as bi fier.16 Witen ye not, that ye ben the temple of God, and the spirit of God dwellith in you?17 And if ony defoulith the temple of God, God schal leese hym; for the temple of God is hooli, which ye ben.18 No man disseyue hym silf. If ony man among you is seyn to be wiys in this world, be he maad a fool, that he be wijs.19 For the wisdom of this world is foli anentis God; for it is writun, Y schal catche wise men in her fel wisdom;20 and eft, The Lord knowith the thouytis of wise men, for tho ben veyn.21 Therfor no man haue glorie in men.22 For alle thingis ben youre, ethir Poul, ether Apollo, ether Cefas, ether the world, ether lijf, ether deth, ether thingis present, ethir thingis to comynge; for alle thingis ben youre,23 and ye ben of Crist, and Crist is of God.
