1 Corinthians 3:18-20
Wycliffe Bible
18 No man deceive himself. If any man among you is seen to be wise in this world, be he made a fool, that he be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God; for it is written, I shall catch wise men in their fell wisdom [I shall catch wise men in their fell wisdom, or subtle guile];
20 and again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of wise men, for those be vain [for they be vain].

1 Corinthians 3:18-20
New International Version
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise(A) by the standards of this age,(B) you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness(C) in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a];(D) 20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”[b](E)
