17. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy and you are that temple.
18. Do not fool yourselves. If you think you are wise in this world, you should become a fool so that you can become truly wise,
19. because the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. It is written in the Scriptures, “He catches those who are wise in their own clever traps.”
20. It is also written in the Scriptures, “The Lord knows what wise people think. He knows their thoughts are just a puff of wind.”
21. So you should not brag about human leaders. All things belong to you:
22. Paul, Apollos, and Peter; the world, life, death, the present, and the future—all these belong to you.
23. And you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
