1 Corinthians 3:1

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} I{G1473}, brethren{G80}, could{G1410}{(G5675)} not{G3756} speak{G2980}{(G5658)} unto you{G5213} as{G5613} unto spiritual{G4152}, but{G235} as{G5613} unto carnal{G4559}, even as{G5613} unto babes{G3516} in{G1722} Christ{G5547}.
Strong's King James
(1) Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as ruach-spirituals, rather as fleshly, like infants in Mashiach.
The F.O.G*
[1] My dear friends, when I was with you, I couldn't speak to you as spiritually mature believers. You were like spiritual infants in your relationship with the Messiah, so I had to treat you as such – as people still controlled by your natural impulses rather than the Spirit's leading.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babes in Christ;
