1 Corinthians 3:18-20
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.”

1 Corinthians 1:21-25
New King James Version
21 For since, in the (A)wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For (B)Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, (C)to the Jews a [a]stumbling block and to the [b]Greeks (D)foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (E)the power of God and (F)the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
