Divisions in the Church

¹But I, brothers,1 could not address you as aspiritual people, but as bpeople of the flesh, as cinfants in Christ. ²dI fed you with milk, not solid food, for eyou were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, ³for you are still of the flesh. For while there is fjealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? ⁴For gwhen one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” hare you not being merely human?

⁵What then is Apollos? What is Paul? iServants through whom you believed, jas the Lord assigned to each. ⁶kI planted, lApollos watered, mbut God gave the growth. ⁷So nneither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. ⁸He who plants and he who waters are one, and each owill receive his wages according to his labor. ⁹For we are pGod's fellow workers. You are God's field, qGod's building.
