Bible Read 1 Corinthians 3

1 Corinthians 3:18

King James Version (KJV)

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

In context

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
