16. Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple? God's Spirit lives in you.
17. If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. God's temple is holy. And you are that temple.
18. Don't fool yourselves. Suppose some of you think you are wise by the standards of the world. Then you should become a "fool" so that you can become wise.
19. The wisdom of this world is foolish in God's eyes. It is written, "God catches wise people in their own tricks." (Job 5:13)
20. It is also written, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise don't amount to anything." (Psalm 94:11)
21. So no more bragging about human beings! All things are yours.
22. That means Paul or Apollos or Peter or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All are yours.
