1 Corinthians 2:7 in Context — 1 Corinthians 2

5 afin que votre foi fût fondée, non sur la sagesse des hommes, mais sur la puissance de Dieu.

6 Cependant, c’est une sagesse que nous prêchons parmi les parfaits, sagesse qui n’est pas de ce siècle, ni des chefs de ce siècle, qui vont être anéantis;

7 nous prêchons la sagesse de Dieu, mystérieuse et cachée, que Dieu, avant les siècles, avait destinée pour notre gloire,

8 sagesse qu’aucun des chefs de ce siècle n’a connue, car, s’ils l’eussent connue, ils n’auraient pas crucifié le Seigneur de gloire.

9 Mais, comme il est écrit, ce sont des choses que l’œil n’a point vues, que l’oreille n’a point entendues, et qui ne sont point montées au cœur de l’homme, des choses que Dieu a préparées pour ceux qui l’aiment.
