1 CORINTHIANS 3:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.”
Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise — Paul's exhortation is paradoxical: to become truly wise, one must 'become fools' (ginomai mōros) by worldly measures. The Corinthians' boasting in sophistic wisdom is self-deception (exapatāō). True wisdom requires renouncing false wisdom first.
