1 Corinthians 1:27 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
25 Car la folie de Dieu est plus sage que les hommes, et la faiblesse de Dieu est plus forte que les hommes.
26 Considérez, frères, que parmi vous qui avez été appelés il n’y a ni beaucoup de sages selon la chair, ni beaucoup de puissants, ni beaucoup de nobles.
27 Mais Dieu a choisi les choses folles du monde pour confondre les sages; Dieu a choisi les choses faibles du monde pour confondre les fortes;
28 et Dieu a choisi les choses viles du monde et celles qu’on méprise, celles qui ne sont point, pour réduire à néant celles qui sont,
29 afin que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant Dieu.
