1 Corinthians 3:16-23

16Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him because God’s temple is holy. You are that holy temple!

18Don’t deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise in the ways of this world, you should give up that wisdom in order to become really wise.

19The wisdom of this world is nonsense in God’s sight. That’s why Scripture says, “God catches the wise in their cleverness.”

20Again Scripture says, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are pointless.”

21So don’t brag about people. Everything belongs to you.

22Whether it is Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life or death, present or future things, everything belongs to you.

23You belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
