14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
16 aDo you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone1 defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Avoid Worldly Wisdom
18 aLet no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, a“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;
20 and again, a“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
