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]

[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.

[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]

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.
