1 Corinthians 3:19-21
New Life Version
19 The wisdom of this world is foolish to God. The Holy Writings say, “He is the One Who gets them in a trap when they use their own wisdom.” (A) 20 They also say, “The Lord knows how the wise man thinks. His thinking is worth nothing.” (B) 21 As a Christian, do not be proud of men and of what they can do. All things belong to you.
