1 Corinthians 3:18 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Don't lie to yourself about this. If you think you've got it all figured out according to how the world measures smart, you need to be willing to look foolish by the world's standards. That's actually how you become truly wise.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Real wisdom starts when you stop caring about looking smart to everyone else.
