1 Corinthians 3:1 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Listen, I couldn't talk to you like you were spiritually mature people — I had to treat you like you were still focused on worldly stuff, like spiritual babies who just started following Christ.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Paul had to keep it basic because they weren't ready for the deep stuff yet.
