1 Corinthians 3:18-23
World English Bible

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this 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, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”Job 5:13 20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”Psalm 94:11 21 Therefore let no one boast 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 you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

The Folly of Human Wisdom

18 Let no one deceive(A) himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age,(B) let him become a fool(C) so that he can become wise.(D) 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness(E) with God, since it is written,(F) He catches the wise in their craftiness;[a](G) 20 and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings(H) of the wise are futile.[b](I) 21 So let no one boast in human leaders, for everything is yours(J)— 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas(K) or the world or life(L) or death(M) or things present or things to come(N)—everything is yours, 23 and you belong to Christ,(O) and Christ belongs to God.
