1 Corinthians 1:28 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
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.
30 Or, c’est par lui que vous êtes en Jésus-Christ, lequel, de par Dieu, a été fait pour nous sagesse, justice et sanctification et rédemption,
