1 Corinthians 3:18-23
New King James Version
Avoid Worldly Wisdom
18 (A)Let 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, (B)“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, (C)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For (D)all 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. 23 And (E)you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

1 Corinthians 3:18-23
American Standard Version
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this [a]world, 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, [b]He that taketh the wise in their craftiness: 20 and again, [c]The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all 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; 23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
