1 Corinthians 3:23
21 Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
