1 Hermanos, no pude hablarles como a espirituales, sino como a humanos, como a niños en Cristo. 2 Les di a beber leche, no alimento sólido, porque todavía no podían recibirlo. Y todavía no pueden 3 pues aún están dominados por la naturaleza humana. Mientras haya entre ustedes envidia y contienda, ¿no están dominados por la naturaleza humana y viven como hombres? 4 Cuando alguno dice: Yo ciertamente soy de Pablo, y otro dice: Yo de Apolos, ¿no están dominados por la naturaleza humana? 5 ¿Quién es Apolos? ¿Y quién es Pablo? Somos servidores por medio de quienes creyeron, según el trabajo que el Señor asignó a cada uno. 6 Yo planté, Apolos regó, pero Dios produjo el crecimiento. 7 Así que, ni el que planta ni el que riega es algo, sino Dios, Quien produce el crecimiento. 8 El que planta y el que riega son iguales, aunque cada uno recibirá su salario según su labor. 9 Porque somos colaboradores de Dios. [Ustedes] son un campo cultivado por Dios, un edificio suyo. 10 Según la gracia que Dios me dio, puse un fundamento como arquitecto experimentado y otro construye sobre él. Pero cada uno tenga cuidado cómo construye. 11 Porque nadie puede poner otro fundamento distinto del que está puesto, el cual es Jesucristo. 12 Si alguno edifica oro, plata, piedras preciosas, madera, pasto, hojarasca sobre el fundamento, 13 la obra de cada uno será visible. Porque el día la mostrará, pues con fuego será descubierta. El fuego probará la obra de cada uno. 14 Si permanece la obra que alguno construyó, recibirá recompensa. 15 Si la obra de alguno se quema, se perderá, pero él será salvo, como el que pasa por fuego. 16 ¿No saben que ustedes son Santuario de Dios, y que el Espíritu de Dios mora en ustedes? 17 Si alguno destruye el Santuario de Dios, Dios lo destruirá, porque el Santuario de Dios es santo. Ustedes son ese Santuario. 18 Nadie se engañe. Si alguno de ustedes supone que es sabio en este mundo, vuélvase necio para que sea sabio. 19 Porque la sabiduría de este mundo es necedad ante Dios, pues está escrito: Él atrapa a los sabios en su astucia. 20 Y otra vez: [El] Señor conoce los pensamientos vanos de los sabios. 21 Así que, nadie se enaltezca por lo que es propio de los seres humanos. Porque todo es de ustedes, 22 sea Pablo, Apolos, Cefas, [el] mundo, [la] vida, [la] muerte, cosas que vinieron o que vienen, todo es de ustedes, 23 y ustedes de Cristo y Cristo de Dios.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 3:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Corinthians (Homily VIII)

    After having overturned the philosophy which is from without, and cast down all its arrogance, he comes unto another argument. For it was likely that they would say, "If we were putting forth the opinions of Plato, or of Pythagoras, or any other of the philosophers, reason were thou shouldest draw out such a long discourse against us.

  3. Quotes verse 3:11 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters XX–XXI)

  4. Quotes verse 3:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXI)

    Which Paul showing also in other ways, said, "So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." From what we have already, then, He urges us in this way: and from examples of other things, by saying, "Behold the fowls of the air." Thus, lest any should say, "we do …
