2)And we received, not
the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might
know the things that were freely given to us by God. (13)Which things
also we speak, not in words taught by man's wisdom, but in those
taught by the Spirit; comparing spiritual things with spiritual[2:13].

(14)But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God,
for they are foolishness to him; and he can not know them, because
they are spiritually judged. (15)But he that is spiritual judges all
things; but he himself is judged by no one. (16)For who knew the mind
of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

I ALSO, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as
carnal, as babes in Christ. (2)I fed you with milk, and not with meat;
for ye were not yet able to bear it; nay, nor even 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 do ye not walk as men?
(4)For when one says, 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
through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each one? (6)I
planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (7)So then
neither is he that plants anything, nor he that waters; but God that
gives the increase. (8)And he that plants and he that waters are one;
and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

(9)For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's field, God's
building. (10)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as
a wise master-builder I laid a foundation, and another builds thereon.
But let each one take heed how he builds thereon. (11)For other
foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. (12)And if any one builds on this foundation gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; (13)the work of each one will be
made manifest; for the day will show it, because it is revealed in
fire, and the fire itself will prove of what sort is each one's work.
(14)If any one's work which he built thereon remains, he will receive
reward. (15)If any one's work shall be burned up, he will suffer loss;
but he himself will be saved; yet so as through fire.

(16)Know ye not that ye are God's temple, and that the Spirit of God
dwells in you? (17)If any one defiles[3:17] the temple of God, him
will God destroy; for the temple of Go
