1 Corinthians 3:18-23

New International Version - UK

¹⁸ Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ‘fools’ so that you may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness’^[a]; ²⁰ and again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.’^{[b] 21} So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas^[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future – all are yours, ²³ and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
