1 Corinthians 3:1-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual people, but as to fleshly people, as to infants in Christ.

2. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to eat it. But now you are still not able,

3. for you are still fleshly. For where there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and do you not live like unregenerate people?

4. For whenever anyone says, “I am with Paul,” and another, “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human?

5. Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.

6. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing it to grow.

7. So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who is causing it to grow.

8. Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but 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.
