v. 1-3 Exposition : Not prescriptive, but descriptive of the way things are but should not be. They can't take solid food because (2c-d) they were not and are not ready. They aren't ready because (3a) they are still of the flesh. And they are still of the flesh because they prefer strife and jealousy over righteousness. Application : As leaders, we should never be satisfied giving "milk" to followers of Jesus, no matter how "young" they are in Christ. We should always set "meat" in front of them If they won't take it, then something is wrong, and we need to identify and correct that 'something.' v. 4-9 Exposition : This brings Paul back to the issue: The jealousy and strife that was stunting the Corinthians' spiritual growth was this matter of pride in their leaders (1:12) which Paul has already addressed from several angles. Here, (4b) he says that it is at the crux of their "mere humanity." 5-6: Paul and Apollos are nothing great -- they are just servants of God, planting and watering. Only God brings growth and harvest. 7-8 : Therefore, they are really nothing; only God, as the one who brings all things to fruition, in worthy of note. 9: God is the owner, and the people are His plantation. The leaders are just the servants and laborers, serving the owner as he connects with all that is His. Application : Too often, Christ followers become people-followers, leading to spiritual confusion, divided allegiances, division, strife and jealousy. It is a tragedy that leaders at all levels must fight. But too often, leaders fail to fight even their own natural inclinations. We want to lead more than to be led, to teach more than to be taught, to be understood more than to understand. If leaders don't resist every temptation to become prideful, powerful, appreciated and recognized, the people of God stand little chance of ever growing up.

NT

tisch

esv

Κἀγώ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἠδυνήθην λαλῆσαι ὑμῖν ὡς πνευματικοῖς

But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people,

ἀλλ’ ὡς σαρκίνοις, ὡς νηπίοις ἐν Χριστῷ.

but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

negativepositive

γάλα ὑμᾶς ἐπότισα

I fed you with milk,

οὐ βρῶμα·

not solid food,

οὔπω γὰρ ἐδύνασθε.

for you were not ready for it.

ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ ἔτι νῦν δύνασθε·

And even now you are not yet ready,

series

ἔτι γὰρ σαρκικοί ἐστε.

for you are still of the flesh.

ὅπου γὰρ ἐν ὑμῖν ζῆλος καὶ ἔρις,

For while there is jealousy and strife among you,

οὐχὶ σαρκικοί ἐστε

are you not of the flesh

καὶ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον περιπατεῖτε;

and behaving only in a human way?

ground

inference

ὅταν γὰρ λέγῃ τις, ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἕτερος δέ, ἐγὼ Ἀπολλῶ,

For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos,"

οὐκ ἄνθρωποί ἐστε;

are you not being merely human?

τί οὖν ἐστιν Ἀπολλῶς;

What then is Apollos?

τί δέ ἐστιν Παῦλος;

What is Paul?

διάκονοι δι’ ὧν ἐπιστεύσατε,

Servants through whom you believed,

καὶ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ὁ κύριος ἔδωκεν.

as the Lord assigned to each.

ideaexplanation

ἐγὼ ἐφύτευσα,

I planted,

Ἀπολλὼς ἐπότισεν,

Apollos watered,

progression

ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς ηὔξανεν·

but God gave the growth.

alternative

ὥστε οὔτε ὁ φυτεύων ἐστίν τι οὔτε ὁ ποτίζων,

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything,

ἀλλ’ ὁ αὐξάνων θεός.

but only God who gives the growth.

ὁ φυτεύων δὲ καὶ ὁ ποτίζων ἕν εἰσιν,

He who plants and he who waters are one,

ἕκαστος δὲ τὸν ἴδιον μισθὸν λήμψεται κατὰ τὸν ἴδιον κόπον.

and each will receive his wages according to his labor.

θεοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν συνεργοί·

For we are God's fellow workers.

θεοῦ γεώργιον,

You are God's field,

θεοῦ οἰκοδομή ἐστε.

God's building.
