1. And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual ones but as to fleshly, as to babes in Messiah.
2. I fed you with milk and not with solid food, for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able,
3. for you are still fleshly. For since there is envy, and strife, and divisions among you, are you not fleshly and walking according to man?
4. For when one says, “I am of Sha’ul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?
5. What then is Apollos, and what is Sha’ul, but servants through whom you believed, as the Master assigned to each?
6. I planted, Apollos watered, but Elohim was giving growth.
7. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is any at all, but Elohim who gives the increase.
8. And he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9. For we are fellow workers of Elohim, you are the field of Elohim, the building of Elohim.
10. According to the favour of Elohim which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But each one should look how he builds on it.
11. For no one is able to lay any other foundation except that which is laid, which is יהושע Messiah.
12. And if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13. each one’s work shall be revealed, for the day shall show it up, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire shall prove the work of each one, what sort it is.
14. If anyone’s work remains, which he has built on, he shall receive a reward.
15. If anyone’s work is burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.
