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 anyone destroys the 4temple of God, God will destroy 5that person; for the 6temple of God is holy, 7and that is what you are.

18 8Take care that no one deceives himself. 9If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in 10this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19For 11the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written: “He is 12the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”; 20and again, “13The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.” 21So then, 14no one is to be boasting in people. For 15all things belong to you, 22 16whether Paul or Apollos or 17Cephas, or the world or 18life or death, or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 23and 19you belong to Christ, and 20Christ belongs to God.
