1 Corinthians 3:1-3 ALT
(1) And _I_, brothers [and sisters], was not able to speak to you* as to spiritual [people], _but_ as to fleshly [people], as to young children in Christ. (2) I gave you* milk to drink and not solid food, for you* were not yet able. Indeed, neither are you* now yet able, (3) for you* are still fleshly. For whereas [there are] among you* jealous rivalry and strife and divisions [or, discords], you* are fleshly and are walking about [fig., conducting yourselves] according to human [standards], are you* not?

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 BBE
(1) And the teaching I gave you, my brothers, was such as I was able to give, not to those who have the Spirit, but to those who are still in the flesh, even to children in Christ. (2) I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able; (3) Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 ASV
(1) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. (2) I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nay, not even now are ye able; (3) for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
