[1]And Y, britheren, myyte not speke to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleischli men; [No book]
[2]as to litle children in Crist, Y yaf to you mylk drynke, not mete; for ye myyten not yit, nether ye moun now, for yit ye ben fleischli. [No book]
[3]For while strijf is among you, whether ye ben not fleischli, and ye gon aftir man? [No book]
[4]For whanne summe seith, Y am of Poul, another, But Y am of Apollo, whethir ye ben not men? What therfor is Apollo, and what Poul? [No book]
[5]Thei ben mynystris of hym, to whom ye han bileuyd; and to ech man as God hath youun. [No book]
[6]Y plauntide, Apollo moystide, but God yaf encreessyng. [No book]
[7]Therfor nether he that plauntith is ony thing, nethir he that moistith, but God that yiueth encreessyng. [No book]
[8]And he that plauntith, and he that moistith, ben oon; and ech schal take his owne mede, aftir his trauel. [No book]
[9]For we ben the helperis of God; ye ben the erthetiliyng of God, ye ben the bildyng of God. [No book]
[10]Aftir the grace `of God that is youun to me, as a wise maistir carpenter Y settide the foundement; and another bildith aboue. But ech man se, hou he bildith aboue. [No book]
