1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ. 2I gave you milk to drink, not meat: for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able: for you are yet carnal. 3For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal and walk you not according to man?…
