Notes on this text (1)

1 And I coulde not speake vnto you brethren as vnto spretuall: but as vnto carnall even as it were vnto babes in Christ. 2 I gave you mylke to drinke and not meate. For ye then were not stronge no nether yet are. 3 For ye are yet carnall. As longe verely as ther is amonge you envyige stryfe and dissencion: are ye not carnall and walke after the manner of men? 4 As loge as one sayth I holde of Paul and another I am of Apollo are ye not carnall? 5 What is Paul? What thinge is Apollo? Only ministers are they by who ye beleved even as the Lorde gave every man grace. 6 I have planted: Apollo watred: but god gave increace. 7 So then nether is he that planteth eny thinge nether he that watreth: but god which gave the increace. 8 He that planteth and he that watreth are nether better then the other. Every man yet shall receave his rewarde accordynge to his laboure. 9 We are goddis labourers ye are goddis husbandrye ye are goddis byldynge. 10 Accordynge to the grace of god geven vnto me as a wyse bylder have I layde the foundacion And another bylt theron But let every man take hede how he bildeth apon. 11 For other foundacion can no man laye then that which is layde which is Iesus Christ. 12 Yf eny man bilde on this foundacion golde silver precious stones tymber haye or stoble: 13 every mannes worke shall appere. For the daye shall declare it and it shalbe shewed in fyre. And ye fyre shall trye euery mannes worke what it is. 14 Yf eny mannes worke that he hath bylt apon byde he shall receave a rewarde. 15 If eny manes worke burne he shall suffre losse: but he shalbe safe him selfe: neverthelesse yet as it were thorow fyre. 16 Are ye not ware that ye are the temple of god and how that the sprete of god dwelleth in you? 17 Yf eny man defyle the temple of god him shall god destroye. For the temple of god is holy which temple ye are. 18 Let no man deceave him silfe. Yf eny man seme wyse amonge you let him be a fole in this worlde that he maye be wyse. 19 For the wisdome of this worlde is folysshnes with god. For it is written: he compaseth the wyse in their craftynes. 20 And agayne God knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse that they be vayne. 21 Therfore let no man reioyce in men. For all thinges are youres 22 whether it be Paul other Apollo other Cephas: whether it be the worlde other lyfe other deeth whether they be present thinges or thinges to come: all are youres 23 and ye are Christes and Christ is goddis.

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).

    After having overturned the philosophy which is from without, and cast down all its arrogance, he comes unto another argument.

    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."
