1 Corinthians 3:18-20

Divisions in the Church

18 e Let no one deceive himself. f If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For g the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, h "He catches the wise in their craftiness," 20 and again, i "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
