1 Corinthians 3:17

Divisiveness And Immaturity

¹⁶ Do ye not know that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye. ¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.
