1 Corinthians 3:19

Divisiveness And Immaturity

¹⁸ Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs: ²⁰ And again, The Lord has knowledge of the reasonings of the wise, that they are nothing.
