What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.As the Scriptures say,“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,

Now regarding your question about food that has been offered to idols. Yes, we know that“ we all have knowledge” about this issue. But while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church.Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much.

I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

“‘ How can you say,“ We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,” when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?

So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Don’t be misled— you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.

But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.

There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise.

I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

The poor, deluded fool feeds on ashes. He trusts something that can’t help him at all. Yet he cannot bring himself to ask,“ Is this idol that I’m holding in my hand a lie?”

Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for“ bad company corrupts good character.”

He replied,“ Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming,‘ I am the Messiah,’ and saying,‘ The time has come!’ But don’t believe them.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.

So now, my sons, listen to me. Never stray from what I am about to say:

Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him.

Our dedication to Christ makes us look like fools, but you claim to be so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are so powerful! You are honored, but we are ridiculed.

“ This is what the Lord says: Do not fool yourselves into thinking that the Babylonians are gone for good. They aren’t!
