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 弟兄们, 我从前对你们说话, 还不能把你们看作属灵的人, 只能看作属肉体的, 看作在基督里的婴孩。
2 我喂给你们吃的是奶, 不是饭, 因为那时你们不能吃, 就是现在还是不能,
3 因为你们仍然是属肉体的。在你们当中既然有嫉妒纷争, 你们不还是属肉体, 照着世人的方式而行吗?
4 有人说"我是保罗派的", 又有人说"我是亚波罗派的", 你们不是和世人一样吗?
5 亚波罗算什么?保罗算什么?我们不过是 神的仆人, 你们借着我们信了主; 按着主所赐给各人的,
6 我栽种了, 亚波罗浇灌了, 唯有 神使它生长。
7 所以, 栽种的算不得什么, 浇灌的也算不得什么, 只在乎那使它生长的 神。
8 栽种的和浇灌的都是一样, 只是各人要照着自己的劳苦得着自己的报酬。
9 我们是 神的同工, 你们是 神的田地, 神的房屋。
10 我照着 神赐给我的恩典, 就像一个聪明的工程师, 立好了根基, 别人在上面建造。各人要注意怎样在上面建造,
11 因为除了那已经立好的根基以外, 没有人能立别的根基。那根基就是耶稣基督。
12 如果有人用金、银、宝石、草、木、禾秸, 在这根基上建造,
13 各人的工程将来必要显露, 因为那日子必把它显明出来。有火要把它显露出来, 那火要考验各人的工程是怎样的。
14 如果有人在这根基上建造的工程存得住, 他就要得到赏赐;
15 如果有人的工程被烧毁, 他就要受亏损; 自己却要得救, 只是要像从火里经过一样。
16 难道不知道你们是 神的殿, 神的灵住在你们里面吗?
17 如果有人毁坏 神的殿, 神必要毁坏这人, 因为 神的殿是圣洁的, 这殿就是你们。
18 谁也不要自欺。如果你们当中有人以为自己在这世代里是有智慧的, 他就应该变为愚笨, 好让他有智慧。
19 因为这世界的智慧, 在 神看来是愚笨的, 如经上所记: "他使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计。"
20 又说: "主知道智慧人的意念是虚妄的。"
21 所以, 谁都不可拿人来夸耀, 因为一切都是你们的。
22 无论是保罗, 是亚波罗, 是矶法, 是世界, 是生, 是死, 是现在的事, 是将来的事, 都是你们的。
23 你们是属基督的, 基督是属 神的。
