1 Corinthians 3:2-4
International Standard Version
2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you weren’t ready for it. And you’re still not ready! 3 That’s because you are still worldly. As long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, you are worldly and living by human standards, aren’t you? 4 For when one person says, “I follow Paul,” and another person says, “I follow Apollos,” you’re following[a] your own human nature, aren’t you?

1 Corinthians 3:2-4
English Standard Version
2 (A)I fed you with milk, not solid food, for (B)you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is (C)jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For (D)when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” (E)are you not being merely human?

King James Version
2 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.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

2 I fed you with (A)milk and not with solid food; (B)for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?
