1 Corinthians 3:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Foundations for Living
3 And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as (A)spiritual people, but only as (B)fleshly, as to (C)infants in Christ. 2 I gave you (D)milk to drink, not solid food; for you (E)were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is (F)jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking (G)like ordinary people? 4 For when (H)one person says, “I am [a]with Paul,” and another, “I am [b]with Apollos,” are you not ordinary (I)people?

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
But You Are Still Acting Like Infants By Dividing Over Paul And Apollos
3 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual ones, but as to ones made-of-flesh[a], as to infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, not food, for you were not yet able. But not-even still now are you able, 3 for you are still fleshly[b]. For where there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and walking in accordance with human thinking[c]? 4 For whenever one says “I am of Paul”, and another “I am of Apollos”, are you not [mere] humans?
