1 Paul says: I could not talk to you all like big, God-strong people. I had to talk like babies in Jesus. ️✝️ 2 I gave you milk, not hard food, because you were not ready. You are still not ready. 3 You still fuss and fight. You want to be first. This is not God’s way. ♂️ 4 Some of you say, “I am with Paul.” Some say, “I am with Apollos.” You are picking teams. ♂️➡️Paul | ♀️➡️Apollos ️ 5 Who are Paul and Apollos? We are helpers. God gave each a job so you could trust Him. 6 I planted the seed. Apollos gave water. God made it grow. ⬆️ 7 The planter is not big. The water helper is not big. God makes it grow. 8 The planter and the water helper are one team. God will give each one a good thank-you for the work. ✅ 9 We work with God. You all are like God’s farm and God’s house. 10 God helped me. I was like a good builder. I put down the base. Others build on it. Be careful how you build. ️️⚠️ 11 No one can make a new base. The base is Jesus. Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus loves us. ✝️❤️ 12 Some build with gold, silver, and jewels. Some build with wood, hay, and straw. 13 One day, the work will show what it is. Fire will test it. 14 If the building stands, the builder gets a good gift. 15 If it burns up, the builder loses the work. He is still safe with God, but it is hard. 16 Do you know? You are God’s temple, God’s house. God’s Holy Spirit lives in you all. ✨️ 17 If anyone hurts God’s temple, God will stop that person. God’s temple is holy. You all are that temple. ⚠️✋✨ 18 Do not trick yourself. If you think you are very smart, be simple and learn God’s way. ➡️ 19 World smart is silly to God. God stops tricky plans. ✋ 20 The Lord knows what smart people think. Their plans are empty to Him. 21 So do not brag about people. God gives you all you need. ➡️ 22 Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, now, and later—God uses all for you. ️⚰️⏳ 23 You belong to Jesus. Jesus belongs to God. ✝️➡️➡️
