1. Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Messiah.
2. I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,
3. for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
4. For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
5. Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?
6. I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
7. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
