29 Afin que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant lui.

1 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 1:29 In-Context

27 Mais Dieu a choisi les choses folles du monde pour confondre les sages, et Dieu a choisi les choses faibles du monde pour confondre les fortes,

28 Et Dieu a choisi les choses viles du monde et les plus méprisées, même celles qui ne sont point, pour anéantir celles qui sont,

29 Afin que nulle chair ne se glorifie devant lui.

30 Or, c'est par Lui que vous êtes en Jésus-Christ, qui nous a été fait de la part de Dieu, sagesse, justice, sanctification et rédemption;

31 Afin que, comme il est écrit, celui qui se glorifie, se glorifie dans le Seigneur.
