1 Corinthians
3
18
Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.
19
For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness."
20
And again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."
21
So then, no more boasting about mere mortals! For everything belongs to you,
22
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. Everything belongs to you,
23
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

1
One should think about us this way - as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2
Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.
3
So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
4
For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.
5
So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition from God.
6
I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn "not to go beyond what is written," so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.
7
For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?
