Chapter 3

KJV: And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

Geneva: And I could not speake vnto you, brethren, as vnto spirituall men, but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ.

KJV: I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Geneva: I gaue you milke to drinke, & not meat: for yee were not yet able to beare it, neither yet nowe are yee able.

KJV: For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Geneva: For yee are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men?

KJV: For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Geneva: For when one sayeth, I am Pauls, and another, I am Apollos, are yee not carnall?

KJV: Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

Geneva: Who is Paul then? And who is Apollos, but the ministers by whome yee beleeued, and as the Lord gaue to euery man?

KJV: I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Geneva: I haue planted, Apollos watred, but God gaue the increase.

KJV: So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Geneva: So then, neither is hee that planteth any thing, neither hee that watreth, but God that giueth the increase.

KJV: Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Geneva: And he that planteth, and he that watreth, are one, and euery man shall receiue his wages, according to his labour.

KJV: For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

Geneva: For we together are Gods labourers: yee are Gods husbandrie, and Gods building.

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

Geneva: According to the grace of God giuen to mee, as a skilfull master builder, I haue laide the foundation, & another buildeth thereon: but let euery man take heede how he buildeth vpon it.

KJV: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Geneva: For other foundation can no man laie, then that which is laied, which is Iesus Christ.

KJV: Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Geneva: And if any man builde on this foundation, golde, siluer, precious stones, timber, haye, or stubble,

KJV: Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

Geneva: Euery mans worke shalbe made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shalbe reueiled by the fire: and the fire shall trie euery mans worke of what sort it is.

KJV: If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

Geneva: If any mans worke, that he hath built vpon, abide, he shall receiue wages.

KJV: If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Geneva: If any mans worke burne, he shall lose, but he shalbe saued himselfe: neuerthelesse yet as it were by the fire.

KJV: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Geneva: Knowe ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

KJV: If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Geneva: If any man destroy the Temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the Temple of God is holy, which ye are.

KJV: Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Geneva: Let no man deceiue himselfe: If any man among you seeme to be wise in this world, let him be a foole, that he may be wise.

KJV: For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

Geneva: For the wisdome of this worlde is foolishnesse with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their owne craftinesse.

KJV: And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Geneva: And againe, The Lord knoweth that the thoughtes of the wise be vaine.

KJV: Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Geneva: Therefore let no man reioyce in men: for all things are yours.

KJV: Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

Geneva: Whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death: whether they be things present, or thinges to come, euen all are yours,

KJV: And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

Geneva: And ye Christes, and Christ Gods.
