1 Corinthians 3:16-23

16 1Do you not know that 2you are a 3temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17If any man destroys the 4temple of God, God will destroy him, for the 5temple of God is holy, and 6that is what you are.

18 7Let no man deceive himself. 8If any man among you thinks that he is wise in 9this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 10the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is 11the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; 20and again, “12The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then 13let no one boast in men. For 14all things belong to you, 22 15whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or 16life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 17you belong to Christ; and 18Christ belongs to God.
