1. My friends, you are acting like the people of this world. That's why I could not speak to you as spiritual people. You are like babies as far as your faith in Christ is concerned.
2. So I had to treat you like babies and feed you milk. You could not take solid food, and you still cannot,
3. because you are not yet spiritual. You are jealous and argue with each other. This proves that you are not spiritual and that you are acting like the people of this world.
4. Some of you say that you follow me, and others claim to follow Apollos. Isn't that how ordinary people behave?
5. Apollos and I are merely servants who helped you to have faith. It was the Lord who made it all happen.
12-13. Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then everyone will find out if we have used gold, silver, and precious stones, or wood, hay, and straw.
21-22. So stop boasting about what anyone has done. Paul and Apollos and Peter all belong to you. In fact, everything is yours, including the world, life, death, the present, and the future. Everything belongs to you,
