1 وَأَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكُمْ كَرُوحِيِّينَ، بَلْ كَجَسَدِيِّينَ كَأَطْفَالٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، 2 سَقَيْتُكُمْ لَبَنًا لَا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدُ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، 3 لِأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدُ جَسَدِيُّونَ. فَإِنَّهُ إِذْ فِيكُمْ حَسَدٌ وَخِصَامٌ وَٱنْشِقَاقٌ، أَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْبَشَرِ؟ 4 لِأَنَّهُ مَتَى قَالَ وَاحِدٌ: «أَنَا لِبُولُسَ» وَآخَرُ: «أَنَا لِأَبُلُّوسَ» أَفَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ؟ 5 فَمَنْ هُوَ بُولُسُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَبُلُّوسُ؟ بَلْ خَادِمَانِ آمَنْتُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمَا، وَكَمَا أَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ: 6 أَنَا غَرَسْتُ وَأَبُلُّوسُ سَقَى، لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ يُنْمِي. 7 إِذًا لَيْسَ ٱلْغَارِسُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلسَّاقِي، بَلِ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي يُنْمِي. 8 وَٱلْغَارِسُ وَٱلسَّاقِي هُمَا وَاحِدٌ، وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَتَهُ بِحَسَبِ تَعَبِهِ. 9 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَامِلَانِ مَعَ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَاحَةُ ٱللهِ، بِنَاءُ ٱللهِ. 10 حَسَبَ نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي كَبَنَّاءٍ حَكِيمٍ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ أَسَاسًا، وَآخَرُ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. 11 فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَضَعَ أَسَاسًا آخَرَ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِي وُضِعَ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ. 12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُ يَبْنِي عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْأَسَاسِ: ذَهَبًا، فِضَّةً، حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، خَشَبًا، عُشْبًا، قَشًّا، 13 فَعَمَلُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَصِيرُ ظَاهِرًا لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ سَيُبَيِّنُهُ. لِأَنَّهُ بِنَارٍ يُسْتَعْلَنُ، وَسَتَمْتَحِنُ ٱلنَّارُ عَمَلَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ. 14 إِنْ بَقِيَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ قَدْ بَنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً. 15 إِنِ ٱحْتَرَقَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ فَسَيَخْسَرُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَسَيَخْلُصُ، وَلَكِنْ كَمَا بِنَارٍ. 16 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ هَيْكَلُ ٱللهِ، وَرُوحُ ٱللهِ يَسْكُنُ فِيكُمْ؟ 17 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُفْسِدُ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ فَسَيُفْسِدُهُ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ مُقَدَّسٌ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ هُوَ. 18 لَا يَخْدَعَنَّ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ. إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، فَلْيَصِرْ جَاهِلًا لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ حَكِيمًا! 19 لِأَنَّ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ هِيَ جَهَالَةٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «ٱلْآخِذُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِمَكْرِهِمْ». 20 وَأَيْضًا: «ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ». 21 إِذًا لَا يَفْتَخِرَنَّ أَحَدٌ بِٱلنَّاسِ! فَإِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ: 22 أَبُولُسُ، أَمْ أَبُلُّوسُ، أَمْ صَفَا، أَمِ ٱلْعَالَمُ، أَمِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمَوْتُ، أَمِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ ٱلْحَاضِرَةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَةُ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ. 23 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلِلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلهِ.

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).
