¹⁶ Do you not ou know oida that hoti you are eimi God’ s theos temple naos and kai that · ho God’ s theos Spirit pneuma · ho lives oikeō in en you hymeis? ¹⁷ If ei anyone tis destroys phtheirō · ho God’ s theos temple naos, · ho God theos will destroy phtheirō him houtos. · ho · ho For gar God’ s theos temple naos · ho is eimi holy hagios, and that is what hostis you hymeis are eimi.

¹⁸ Let exapataō no one mēdeis deceive exapataō himself heautou. If ei someone tis among en you hymeis thinks dokeō he is eimi wise sophos in en · ho this houtos age aiōn, let him become ginomai foolish mōros so hina that he may become ginomai wise sophos. ¹⁹ For gar the ho wisdom sophia of ho this houtos world kosmos is eimi folly mōria with para · ho God theos. For gar it is written graphō, “ He ho traps drassomai the ho wise sophos with en · ho their own autos craftiness panourgia.” ²⁰ And kai again palin, “The Lord kyrios knows ginōskō the ho reasonings dialogismos of the ho wise sophos, that hoti they are eimi futile mataios.” ²¹ So hōste then , let no mēdeis one boast kauchaomai with en respect to men anthrōpos.

¹¹ Blessed makarios are eimi you when hotan others revile oneidizō you hymeis and kai persecute diōkō you and kai say legō all pas kinds of evil ponēros against kata you hymeis falsely pseudomai on account of me egō. ¹² Rejoice chairō and kai be very glad agalliaō because hoti · ho your hymeis reward misthos is great polys in en · ho heaven ouranos; for gar that is how houtōs they persecuted diōkō the ho prophets prophētēs who ho were before pro you hymeis.

¹³ “ You hymeis are eimi the ho salt halas of the ho earth gē, but de if ean · ho salt halas has lost its taste mōrainō, how en tis will it be made salty halizō again?
