On Divisions in the Corinthian Church

3 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people but rather as fleshly, as infants in Christ.^{(A) 2} I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready,^{(B) 3} for you are still fleshly. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling^[a] among you, are you not fleshly and behaving according to human inclinations?^(C)

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?^{[a](A) 17} If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
