1COR 3:18–3:23 ©

Stop being proud of one Christian leader or another, because we are all just working for your benefit.

Stop being proud of one Christian leader or another, because we are all just working for your benefit.

1 Corinthians 3:18-23

18Some among you think that you are wise because unbelievers thought you were wise previously. Stop deceiving yourselves. If you really want to be wise, by accepting what God considers to be wise you should be willing to let unbelievers consider that you are foolish [IRO]. 19You should do that because things that unbelievers consider to be [IRO] wise, God considers to be foolish. We can learn from the Scriptures what God says about that:

Those who think that they are [IRO] wise, he messes up their plans by the mistakes they make!

20And we can learn from these words of Scripture,

The Lord considers as useless the thoughts of humans who think that they are [IRO] wise.

21So, stop boasting about how good one Christian leader is or how good another Christian leader is. All of us(exc) exist as leaders only to help you! 22Specifically, do not boast about me, or about Apollos, or about Peter! Everything in the world exists to benefit you believers. Whether you live or whether you die, the things that are happening now or the things that will happen in the future, they are all to benefit you. 23You should boast about Christ, not about your leaders, because you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
