1 Corintios 1:29

29 Para que ninguna carne se jacte en su presencia.

1 Corintios 1:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 1:29

That no flesh should glory in his presence.
] That is, "in the presence of God", as some copies, and the Arabic and Ethiopic versions read; not in their blood, birth, families, lineage, and natural descent; nor in their might, power, and dominion; nor in their riches, wealth, and substance; nor in their wisdom, learning, and parts: for however these may be gloried in before men, yet not before God. These are of no account with him, nor will they be regarded by him, or men on account of them; and he has taken a method in choosing and calling the reverse of these, to stain the glory of all flesh, that no man may attribute his salvation to any thing of the creature, but wholly to the sovereign grace and good pleasure of God.

1 Corintios 1:29 In-Context

27 Antes lo necio del mundo escogió Dios, para avergonzar á los sabios; y lo flaco del mundo escogió Dios, para avergonzar lo fuerte;

28 Y lo vil del mundo y lo menos preciado escogió Dios, y lo que no es, para deshacer lo que es:

29 Para que ninguna carne se jacte en su presencia.

30 Mas de él sois vosotros en Cristo Jesús, el cual nos ha sido hecho por Dios sabiduría, y justificación, y santificación, y redención:

31 Para que, como está escrito: El que se gloría, gloríese en el Señor.
