1 Corinthians 3:17-19

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁷ God will punish anyone who spoils his house. His house is holy, and you are the house.

¹⁸ Do not be fooled. If any one of you thinks that he is wise in the things of this world, he should count himself as not being wise. Then he would really be wise.

¹⁹ The things that look wise to the people of this world look foolish to God. The holy writings say, `He catches the wise people in their own tricks.'
