NCV
1. Brothers and sisters, in the past I could not talk to you as I talk to spir- itual people. I had to talk to you as I would to people without the Spirit -- babies in Christ.
1. And G2532 I G1473 , brethren G80 , could G1410 not G3756 speak G2980 unto you G5213 as G5613 unto spiritual G4152 , but G235 as G5613 unto carnal G4559 , even as G5613 unto babes G3516 in G1722 Christ G5547 .
2. The teaching I gave you was like milk, not solid food, because you were not able to take solid food. And even now you are not ready.
2. I have fed G4222 you G5209 with milk G1051 , and G2532 not G3756 with meat G1033 : for G1063 hitherto ye were not able G3768 G1410 to bear it G235 , neither G3777 yet G2089 now G3568 are ye able G1410 .
3. You are still not spiritual, because there is jealousy and quarreling among you, and this shows that you are not spiritual. You are acting like people of the world.
3. For G1063 ye are G2075 yet G2089 carnal G4559 : for G1063 whereas G3699 there is among G1722 you G5213 envying G2205 , and G2532 strife G2054 , and G2532 divisions G1370 , are G2075 ye not G3780 carnal G4559 , and G2532 walk G4043 as G2596 men G444 ?
4. One of you says, "I belong to Paul," and another says, "I belong to Apollos." When you say things like this, you are acting like people of the world.
4. For G1063 while G3752 one G5100 saith G3004 , I G1473 G3303 am G1510 of Paul G3972 ; and G1161 another G2087 , I G1473 am of Apollos G625 ; are G2075 ye not G3780 carnal G4559 ?
5. Is Apollos important? No! Is Paul important? No! We are only servants of God who helped you believe. Each one of us did the work God gave us to do.
5. Who G5101 then G3767 is G2076 Paul G3972 , and G1161 who G5101 is Apollos G625 , but G235 G2228 ministers G1249 by G1223 whom G3739 ye believed G4100 , even G2532 as G5613 the G3588 Lord G2962 gave G1325 to every man G1538 ?
6. I planted the seed, and Apollos watered it. But God is the One who made it grow.
6. I G1473 have planted G5452 , Apollos G625 watered G4222 ; but G235 God G2316 gave the increase G837 .
7. So the one who plants is not important, and the one who waters is not important. Only God, who makes things grow, is important.
7. So then G5620 neither G3777 is G2076 he that planteth G5452 any thing G5100 , neither G3777 he that watereth G4222 ; but G235 God G2316 that giveth the increase G837 .
8. The one who plants and the one who waters have the same purpose, and each will be rewarded for his own work.
8. Now G1161 he that planteth G5452 and G2532 he that watereth G4222 are G1526 one G1520 : and G1161 every man G1538 shall receive G2983 his own G2398 reward G3408 according G2596 to his own G2398 labor G2873 .
9. We are God's workers, working together; you are like God's farm, God's house.
9. For G1063 we are G2070 laborers together with G4904 God G2316 : ye are G2075 God G2316 's husbandry G1091 , ye are God G2316 's building G3619 .
10. Using the gift God gave me, I laid the foundation of that house like an expert builder. Others are building on that foundation, but all peo- ple should be careful how they build on it.
10. According G2596 to the G3588 grace G5485 of God G2316 which is given G1325 unto me G3427 , as G5613 a wise G4680 masterbuilder G753 , I have laid G5087 the foundation G2310 , and G1161 another G243 buildeth thereon G2026 . But G1161 let every man G1538 take heed G991 how G4459 he buildeth thereupon G2026 .
11. The foundation that has already been laid is Jesus Christ, and no one can lay down any other foundation.
11. For G1063 other G243 foundation G2310 can G1410 no man G3762 lay G5087 than G3844 that is laid G2749 , which G3739 is G2076 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
12. But if people build on that foundation, using gold, silver, jewels, wood, grass, or straw,
12. Now G1161 if any man G1536 build G2026 upon G1909 this G5126 foundation G2310 gold G5557 , silver G696 , precious G5093 stones G3037 , wood G3586 , hay G5528 , stubble G2562 ;
13. their work will be clearly seen, because the Day of Judgmentn will make it visible. That Day will appear with fire, and the fire will test everyone's work to show what sort of work it was.
13. Every man G1538 's work G2041 shall be made G1096 manifest G5318 : for G1063 the G3588 day G2250 shall declare G1213 it, because G3754 it shall be revealed G601 by G1722 fire G4442 ; and G2532 the G3588 fire G4442 shall try G1381 every man G1538 's work G2041 of what sort G3697 it is G2076 .
14. If the building that has been put on the foundation still stands, the builder will get a reward.
14. If any man G1536 's work G2041 abide G3306 which G3739 he hath built thereupon G2026 , he shall receive G2983 a reward G3408 .
15. But if the building is burned up, the builder will suffer loss. The builder will be saved, but it will be as one who escaped from a fire.
15. If any man G1536 's work G2041 shall be burned G2618 , he shall suffer loss G2210 : but G1161 he G848 himself shall be saved G4982 ; yet G1161 so G3779 as G5613 by G1223 fire G4442 .
16. Don't you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
16. Know G1492 ye not G3756 that G3754 ye are G2075 the temple G3485 of God G2316 , and G2532 that the G3588 Spirit G4151 of God G2316 dwelleth G3611 in G1722 you G5213 ?
17. If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person, because God's temple is holy and you are that temple.
17. If any man G1536 defile G5351 the G3588 temple G3485 of God G2316 , him G5126 shall God G2316 destroy G5351 ; for G1063 the G3588 temple G3485 of God G2316 is G2076 holy G40 , which G3748 temple ye G5210 are G2075 .
18. Do not fool yourselves. If you think you are wise in this world, you should become a fool so that you can become truly wise,
18. Let no man G3367 deceive G1818 himself G1438 . If any man G1536 among G1722 you G5213 seemeth G1380 to be G1511 wise G4680 in G1722 this G5129 world G165 , let him become G1096 a fool G3474 , that G2443 he may be G1096 wise G4680 .
19. because the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. It is written in the Scriptures, "He catches those who are wise in their own clever traps."
19. For G1063 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world G2889 is G2076 foolishness G3472 with G3844 God G2316 . For G1063 it is written G1125 , He taketh G1405 the G3588 wise G4680 in G1722 their own G848 craftiness G3834 .
20. It is also written in the Scriptures, "The Lord knows what wise people think. He knows their thoughts are just a puff of wind."
20. And G2532 again G3825 , The Lord G2962 knoweth G1097 the G3588 thoughts G1261 of the G3588 wise G4680 , that G3754 they are G1526 vain G3152 .
21. So you should not brag about human leaders. All things belong to you:
21. Therefore G5620 let no man G3367 glory G2744 in G1722 men G444 . For G1063 all things G3956 are G2076 yours G5216 ;
22. Paul, Apollos, and Peter; the world, life, death, the present, and the future -- all these belong to you.
22. Whether G1535 Paul G3972 , or G1535 Apollos G625 , or G1535 Cephas G2786 , or G1535 the world G2889 , or G1535 life G2222 , or G1535 death G2288 , or G1535 things present G1764 , or G1535 things to come G3195 ; all G3956 are G2076 yours G5216 ;
23. And you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
23. And G1161 ye G5210 are Christ G5547 's; and G1161 Christ G5547 is God G2316 's.
