1 Corinthians 3:18

World English Bible (WEB)

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

In context

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

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
