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.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For aall things are yours:
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours.
