Reading 1 Corinthians chapter 3 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.

Verses 1–10

1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.

2 I gave you milk to drink, not meat: for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able: for you are yet carnal.

3 For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal and walk you not according to man?

4 For while one saith: I indeed am of Paul: and another: I am of Apollo: are you not men? What then is Apollo and what is Paul?

5 The ministers of him whom you have believed: and to every one as the Lord hath given.

6 I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase.

7 Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor 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 God's coadjutors. You are God's husbandry: you are God's building.

10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
