1 Corinthians 3:16-18
New English Translation
16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple[a] and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 17 If someone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, which is what you are.
18 Guard against self-deception, each of you.[b] If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.
