1 Corinthians 3:18–23

THE FOLLY OF HUMAN WISDOM

18 Let no one deceivea himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age,b let him become a foolc so that he can become wise.d 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishnesse with God, since it is written,f He catches the wise in their craftiness;A,g 20 and again, The Lord knows that the reasoningsh of the wise are futile.B,i 21 So let no one boast in human leaders, for everything is yoursj—22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephask or the world or lifel or deathm or things present or things to comen—everything is yours, 23 and you belong to Christ,o and Christ belongs to God.
