1 Corinthians 3:19

Divisiveness And Immaturity

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. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness. ²⁰ And again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
