16 Don't you know that you are God's temple and God's Spirit lives in you?
16
Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
17 If someone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person, because God's temple is holy, which is what you are.
17
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 Don't fool yourself. If some of you think they are worldly-wise, then they should become foolish so that they can become wise.
18
Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise.
19 This world's wisdom is foolishness to God. As it's written, He catches the wise in their cleverness.
19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness,"
20 And also, The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are silly.
20
and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 So then, no one should brag about human beings. Everything belongs to you—
21
So let no one boast about human leaders. For all things are yours,
22 Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, things in the present, things in the future—everything belongs to you,
22
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all belong to you,
23 but you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
23
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
