1 Corinthians 3:1

Read in context

1 Corinthians 3:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.

2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,

3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
