Youngs Literal Translation


3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly -- as to babes in Christ;
3:2 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. with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,
3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? for yet ye are fleshly, for where `there is' among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?
3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? for when one may say, `I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, `I -- of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?
3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?
3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;
3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;
3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,
3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.
3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on `it',
3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;
3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --
3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare `it', because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;
3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. if of any one the work doth remain that he built on `it', a wage he shall receive;
3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.
3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?
3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.
3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age -- let him become a fool, that he may become wise,
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'
3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. and again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'
3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,
3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be -- all are yours,
3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. and ye `are' Christ's, and Christ `is' God's.
