[1]AND I, my brethren, could not speak with you as with the spiritual, but as with the carnal, and as with babes in the Meshiha.
[2]I have sustained you with milk,ⓘ and have not given you meat; for as yet you could not, nor can you now, [bear it].
[3]For as yet you are in the flesh. For while there are among you envy and contentions and divisions, are you not carnal, and walking in the flesh?
[4]For while some of you say, I am of Paulos, and another, I am of Apollo, are you not carnal?
[5]For who is Paulos, or who Apollo, but ministers by whom you have believed and each as the Lord gave to him?
[6]I have planted, and Apollo watered, but Aloha made to increase.
[7]He then who planteth is not any thing nor he who watereth; but Aloha who maketh to increase.
[8]But he who planteth and he who watereth are one, [and] each according to his labour his recompence receiveth.
[9]For with Aloha we work; and the work of Aloha and the edifice of Aloha are you.
[10]And according to the grace of Aloha which is given to me, I have laid the foundation as a wise architect; but another hath built upon it. But let every man beware how he buildeth upon it.
[11]For another foundation besides this which is laid no man can lay, (that, namely,) which is Jeshu the Meshiha.
[12]And if any man build upon this foundation gold, or silver, or precious stones; or wood, or hay, or stubble;
[13]The work of every one shall be revealed, for that day shall reveal it; for by the fire shall it be revealed, and the work of every man as it is the fire shall distinguish.
[14]And he whose work which he builded shall abide, will receive his recompense;
[15]And he whose work shall be burned, shall fail; but he [himself] shall be rescued, but so as from fire.
[16]KNOW YOU not that you are the temple of Aloha, and [that] the Spirit of Aloha inhabiteth in you?
[17]Whoso destroyeth the temple of Aloha, him will Aloha destroy for the temple of Aloha is holy, which you are.
[18]Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you supposeth himself wise in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.
[19]For the wisdom of this world is folly with Aloha; for it is written, He hath taken the wise in their own craftiness.
[20]And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
[21]On this account let no one boast in men: for every thing is yours;
[22]Whether Paulos, or Apolo, or Kipha, or the world, or life, or death, or things standing, or things to be; every thing is yours,
[23]And you are of the Meshiha, and the Meshiha of Aloha.
