1 Korintus 3:2

3:2 I fed you milk, ¹  not solid food, for you were not yet ready. In fact, you are still not ready,

1 Korintus 10:30

10:30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food ²  that I give thanks for?

1 Korintus 11:16

11:16 If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

1 Korintus 14:4

14:4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, ³  but the one who prophesies builds up the church.

[3:2]  ¹ sn Milk refers figuratively to basic or elementary Christian teaching. Paul’s point was that the Corinthian believers he was writing to here were not mature enough to receive more advanced teaching. This was not a problem at the time, when they were recent converts, but the problem now is that they are still not ready.

[10:30]  ² tn Grk “about that for which”; the referent (the food) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:4]  ³ sn The Greek term builds (himself) up does not necessarily bear positive connotations in this context.
