## 1 Corinthians 3:20-21 in Context (Verses 17–23 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which *temple* ye are.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/18) 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/20) And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/21) Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/22) Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/23) And ye are Christ’s; and Christ *is* God’s.
