ESV

1	But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
2	I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,
3	for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
4	For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
5	What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
6	I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
7	So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
8	He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
9	For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
10	According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
11	For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12	Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw-
13	each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
14	If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
15	If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
16	Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
17	If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18	Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19	For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”
20	and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
21	So 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 the present or the future- all are yours,
23	and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

NIV

1	Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly–mere infants in Christ.
2	I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
3	You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
4	For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
5	What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe–as the Lord has assigned to each his task.
6	I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
7	So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
8	The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
9	For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
10	By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds.
11	For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12	If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
13	his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.
14	If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.
15	If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
16	Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
17	If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
18	Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise.
19	For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”;
20	and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
21	So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours,
22	whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future–all are yours,
23	and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

NLT

1	Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life.
2	I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren't ready for anything stronger. And you still aren't ready,
3	for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world?
4	When one of you says, “I am a follower of Paul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” aren't you acting just like people of the world?
5	After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God's servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.
6	I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.
7	It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow.
8	The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.
9	For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building.
10	Because of God's grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.
11	For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have– Jesus Christ.
12	Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials– gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw.
13	But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value.
14	If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward.
15	But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
16	Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
17	God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18	Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world's standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
19	For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”
20	And again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise; he knows they are worthless.”
21	So don't boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you–
22	whether Paul or Apollos or Peter, or the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you,
23	and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

KJV

1	And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
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.
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?
4	For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5	Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6	I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7	So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8	Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9	For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
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.
11	For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12	Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
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.
14	If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15	If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16	Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17	If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
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.
19	For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20	And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21	Therefore let no man glory 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 are yours;
23	And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
