15 Si la obra de alguno fuere quemada, será perdida: él empero será salvo, mas así como por fuego.

16 ¿No sabéis que sois templo de Dios, y que el Espíritu de Dios mora en vosotros?

17 Si alguno violare el templo de Dios, Dios destruirá al tal: porque el templo de Dios, el cual sois vosotros, santo es.

18 Nadie se engañe á sí mismo: si alguno entre vosotros parece ser sabio en este siglo, hágase simple, para ser sabio.

19 Porque la sabiduría de este mundo es necedad para con Dios; pues escrito está: El que prende á los sabios en la astucia de ellos.
