I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you weren't ready for it. And you're still not ready!

For when one person says, "I follow Paul," and another person says, "I follow Apollos," you're following your own human nature, aren't you?

Who is Apollos, anyhow? Or who is Paul? They're merely servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord gave to each of us his task.

In the same way, since you're so desirous of spiritual gifts, you must keep on desiring them for building up the church.

Otherwise, if you say a blessing with your spirit, how can an otherwise uneducated person say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you're saying?
