For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the prudent I will annul."
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness";
We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are despised!
Now these things, brothers, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, in order that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other.
