不可分派結黨

弟兄們,我從前對你們說話,還不能把你們看作屬靈的人,只能看作屬肉體的人,看作在基督裡的嬰孩。 我餵給你們吃的是奶,不是飯,因為那時你們不能吃,就是現在還是不能, 因為你們仍然是屬肉體的。在你們當中既然有嫉妒紛爭,你們不還是屬肉體,照著世人的方式而行嗎? 有人說“我是保羅派的”,又有人說“我是亞波羅派的”,你們不是和世人一樣嗎? 亞波羅算甚麼?保羅算甚麼?我們不過是 神的僕人,你們藉著我們信了主;按著主所賜給各人的, 我栽種了,亞波羅澆灌了,唯有 神使它生長。 所以,栽種的算不得甚麼,澆灌的也算不得甚麼,只在乎那使它生長的 神。 栽種的和澆灌的都是一樣,只是各人要照著自己的勞苦得著自己的報酬。 我們是 神的同工,你們是 神的田地, 神的房屋。

10 我照著 神賜給我的恩典,就像一個聰明的工程師,立好了根基,別人在上面建造。各人要注意怎樣在上面建造, 11 因為除了那已經立好的根基以外,沒有人能立別的根基。那根基就是耶穌基督。 12 如果有人用金、銀、寶石、草、木、禾稭,在這根基上建造, 13 各人的工程將來必要顯露,因為那日子必把它顯明出來。有火要把它顯露出來,那火要考驗各人的工程是怎樣的。 14 如果有人在這根基上建造的工程存得住,他就要得到賞賜; 15 如果有人的工程被燒毀,他就要受虧損;自己卻要得救,只是要像從火裡經過一樣。 16 難道不知道你們是 神的殿, 神的靈住在你們裡面嗎? 17 如果有人毀壞 神的殿, 神必要毀壞這人,因為 神的殿是聖潔的,這殿就是你們。

18 誰也不要自欺。如果你們當中有人以為自己在這世代裡是有智慧的,他就應該變為愚笨,好讓他有智慧。 19 因為這世界的智慧,在 神看來是愚笨的,如經上所記:

“他使有智慧的人中了自己的詭計。”

20 又說:

“主知道智慧人的意念是虛妄的。”

21 所以,誰都不可拿人來誇耀,因為一切都是你們的。 22 無論是保羅,是亞波羅,是磯法,是世界,是生,是死,是現在的事,是將來的事,都是你們的。 23 你們是屬基督的,基督是屬 神的。

My brothers, I could not talk to you at first as to people who have the Spirit of God. But I talked to you as people who have the spirit of this world. I talked to you as people who are very new-born, baby Christians.

I gave you milk to drink, not food to eat. You were not ready for food. And even now you are not ready for it.

You still have the spirit of this world in you. You are jealous of each other and you are quarrelling. The spirit of this world is still in you and you live like people of this world.

One says, `I belong to Paul.' Another says, `I belong to Apollos.' Does not that show that you have the spirit of this world?

After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We both work for God. You believed because of the work we did. The Lord gave each of us our work to do.

I planted the seed. Apollos put water on the seed. But God made the seed grow.

So then the man who plants is nothing and the man who waters is nothing. God alone makes the seed grow.

The man who plants and the man who waters are equal. Each one will be paid for his own work.

We work together for God. You are God's farm. You are God's house.

10 I built the lower walls of the house because God showed me the best way to do it. Now another man builds on top of this foundation. Each man must take care how he builds on it.

11 Jesus Christ himself is the foundation. No one can make another one.

12 People build with gold, silver, very fine stones, wood, grass, or straw on top of the foundation.

13 But the day will come when everyone's work can be seen. Their work will be tested by fire and the fire will show what kind of work each one did.

14 If the work a man did is not burned up in the fire, he will be paid for his work.

15 But if a man's work is burned up, he will lose everything. He himself will be saved, like a man pulled out of the fire.

16 You know that you are God's house. The spirit of God lives in you.

17 God will punish anyone who spoils his house. His house is holy, and you are the house.

18 Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.

19 The things that look wise to the people of this world look foolish to God. The holy writings say, `He catches the wise people in their own tricks.'

20 It also says, `The Lord knows that the wise men's thoughts are good for nothing.'

21 So do not be proud of men. Everything belongs to you.

22 Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the things which are now, and the things which are to come, everything is yours!

23 And you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God!
