1 Corinthians 1:23 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1

21 Car puisque le monde, avec sa sagesse, n’a point connu Dieu dans la sagesse de Dieu, il a plu à Dieu de sauver les croyants par la folie de la prédication.

22 Les Juifs demandent des miracles et les Grecs cherchent la sagesse:

23 nous, nous prêchons Christ crucifié; scandale pour les Juifs et folie pour les païens,

24 mais puissance de Dieu et sagesse de Dieu pour ceux qui sont appelés, tant Juifs que Grecs.

25 Car la folie de Dieu est plus sage que les hommes, et la faiblesse de Dieu est plus forte que les hommes.
