The Church and Its Leaders

3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit^(A) but as people who are still worldly^(B)—mere infants^(C) in Christ.

² I gave you milk, not solid food,^(A) for you were not yet ready for it.^(B) Indeed, you are still not ready.

¹⁴ If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.^(A)

²⁰ and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”^[a](A)
