First Letter to the Corinthians

New Testament

Rainbow Missions, Inc. World English Bible. Rainbow Missions, Inc.; revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. http://ebible.org/bible/web.

But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?" But we have Christ's mind.

Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

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?

For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly?

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
