Avoid Worldly Wisdom
18 (A)Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, 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, (B)“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, (C)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
