First Reading 1 Corinthians 3:1-9
1And so, brothers, I was not able to speak to you as if to those who are spiritual, but rather as if to those who are carnal. For you are like infants in Christ.
2I gave you milk to drink, not solid food. For you were not yet able. And indeed, even now, you are not able; for you are still carnal.
3And since there is still envy and contention among you, are you not carnal, and are you not walking according to man?
4For if one says, “Certainly, I am of Paul,” while another says, “I am of Apollo,” are you not men? But what is Apollo, and what is Paul?
5We are only the ministers of him in whom you have believed, just as the Lord has granted to each of you.
6I planted, Apollo watered, but God provided the growth.
7And so, neither he who plants, nor he who waters, is anything, but only God, who provides the growth.
8Now he who plants, and he who waters, are one. But each shall receive his proper reward, according to his labors.
9For we are God’s assistants. You are God’s cultivation; you are God’s construction.
