1 Corinthians 3:19

Divisiveness And Immaturity

¹⁸ Let no one be deceiving himself: - if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise; ¹⁹ For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written - He that taketh the wise in their knavery, - ²⁰ And again - The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.
