 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. | 1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. | 1 Brothers and sisters, I couldn't talk to you as spiritual people but as people still influenced by your corrupt nature. You were infants in your faith in Christ. | 1 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. | 1 And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ. | 2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, | 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. | 2 I gave you milk to drink. I didn't give you solid food because you weren't ready for it. Even now you aren't ready for it | 2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, | 2 I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able; | 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? | 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? | 3 because you're still influenced by your corrupt nature. When you are jealous and quarrel among yourselves, aren't you influenced by your corrupt nature and living by human standards? | 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? | 3 for ye are yet carnal. For whereas there are among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man? | 4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? | 4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? | 4 When some of you say, "I follow Paul" and others say, "I follow Apollos," aren't you acting like [sinful] humans? | 4 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly? | 4 For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are ye not men? | 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. | 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? | 5 Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are servants who helped you come to faith. Each did what the Lord gave him to do. | 5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him? | 5 Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. | 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. | 6 I planted, and Apollos watered, but God made it grow. | 6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. | 6 I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase. | 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. | 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. | 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is important because [only] God makes it grow. | 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. | 7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase. | 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. | 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. | 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have the same goal, and each will receive a reward for his own work. | 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. | 8 But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. | 9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. | 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. | 9 We are God's coworkers. You are God's field. You are God's building. | 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building. | 9 For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building. | 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. | 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. | 10 As a skilled and experienced builder, I used the gift that God gave me to lay the foundation [for that building]. However, someone else is building on it. Each person must be careful how he builds on it. | 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it. | 10 According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. | 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. | 11 After all, no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is already laid, and that foundation is Jesus Christ. | 11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. | 11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. | 12 Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, | 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; | 12 People may build on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw. | 12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; | 12 Now if any one build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw, | 13 each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. | 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. | 13 The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done. | 13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is. | 13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is. | 14 If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. | 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. | 14 If what a person has built survives, he will receive a reward. | 14 If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. | 14 If the work of any one which he has built upon the foundation shall abide, he shall receive a reward. | 15 If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. | 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. | 15 If his work is burned up, he will suffer [the loss]. However, he will be saved, though it will be like going through a fire. | 15 If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire. | 15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through the fire. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? | 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? | 16 Don't you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? | 16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you? | 16 Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? | 17 If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. | 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. | 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him because God's temple is holy. You are that holy temple! | 17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are. | 17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye. | 18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. | 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. | 18 Don't deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise in the ways of this world, you should give up that wisdom in order to become really wise. | 18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. | 18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. | 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; | 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. | 19 The wisdom of this world is nonsense in God's sight. That's why Scripture says, "God catches the wise in their cleverness." | 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness." | 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness. | 20 and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." | 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. | 20 Again Scripture says, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are pointless." | 20 And again, "The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless." | 20 And again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 21 So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, | 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; | 21 So don't brag about people. Everything belongs to you. | 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, | 21 So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours. | 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, | 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; | 22 Whether it is Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life or death, present or future things, everything belongs to you. | 22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours, | 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours; | 23 and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God. | 23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. | 23 You belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. | 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. | 23 and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's. |
