1 My friends, you are acting like the people of this world. That's why I could not speak to you as spiritual people. You are like babies as far as your faith in Christ is concerned.
2 So I had to treat you like babies and feed you milk. You could not take solid food, and you still cannot,
3 because you are not yet spiritual. You are jealous and argue with each other. This proves that you are not spiritual and that you are acting like the people of this world.
4 Some of you say that you follow me, and others claim to follow Apollos. Isn't that how ordinary people behave?
5 Apollos and I are merely servants who helped you to have faith. It was the Lord who made it all happen.
6 I planted the seeds, Apollos watered them, but God made them sprout and grow.
7 What matters isn't those who planted or watered, but God who made the plants grow.
