See Scofield Note: "Rom 7:14". I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 1Cor 1:12,17 Jn 1:13 Jude 1:23.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. [1] one
Paul refutes the notion that he and Cephas and Apollos are at variance, mere theologians and rival founders of sects: they are "one." 1Cor 3:22 16:12. Margin reward 1Cor 9:17 Dan 12:3 1Cor 3:14 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Grace (imparted). 1Cor 15:10 Rom 6:1 2Pet 3:18 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [2] reward
God, in the N.T. Scriptures, offers to the lost, salvation, and, for the faithful service of the saved, rewards. The passages are easily distinguished by remembering that salvation is invariably spoken of as a free gift (e.g.) Jn 4:10 Rom 6:23 Eph 2:8,9 while rewards are earned by works Mt 10:42 Lk 19:17 1Cor 9:24,25 2Tim 4:7,8 Rev 2:10 22:12. A further distinction is that salvation is a present possession Lk 7:50 Jn 3:36 5:24 6:47, while rewards are a future attainment, to be given at the coming of the Lord Mt 16:27 2Tim 4:8 Rev 22:12. Margin reward 1Cor 9:17 Dan 12:3 1Cor 3:14 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Margin saved

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Margin
