  ¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

  ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

  ²⁰And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

  ²¹Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

  ²²whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

  ²³and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

• Gospel

  ³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”

  ³⁷He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

  ³⁸the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

  ³⁹The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

  ⁴⁰As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

  ⁴¹The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

  ⁴²and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

  ⁴³Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
