1 Corinthians 3:1-3

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The Problem of Immaturity

3 For my part, brothers and sisters, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.^{(A) 2} I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, since you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready, ³ because you are still worldly. For since there is envy^(B) and strife^[a](C) among you, are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans?
