1 Corinthians 3:19

Divisiveness And Immaturity

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He compasseth the wise in their craftiness." ²⁰ And again, "God knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they be vain."
