1 Corinthians 3:18 in Context — 1 Corinthians 3
16 Ne savez-vous pas que vous êtes le temple de Dieu, et que l’Esprit de Dieu habite en vous?
17 Si quelqu’un détruit le temple de Dieu, Dieu le détruira; car le temple de Dieu est saint, et c’est ce que vous êtes.
18 Que nul ne s’abuse lui-même: si quelqu’un parmi vous pense être sage selon ce siècle, qu’il devienne fou, afin de devenir sage.
19 Car la sagesse de ce monde est une folie devant Dieu. Aussi est-il écrit: Il prend les sages dans leur ruse.
20 Et encore: Le Seigneur connaît les pensées des sages, Il sait qu’elles sont vaines.
