• 1 Corinthians 3:1-23 (NKJV) “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

• 2, I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

• 3, for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?

• 4, For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

• 15, If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

• 17, If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

• 18, Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

• 19, For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;

• 20, and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
• 21, Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:
