| 1 | And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. | Moi aussi, mes frères, lorsque je suis venu chez vous, ce n'est pas avec une supériorité de langage ou de sagesse que je suis venu vous annoncer le témoignage de Dieu. | And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. |
| 2 | For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. | Car je n'ai pas jugé que je dusse savoir parmi vous autre chose que Jésus-Christ, et Jésus-Christ crucifié. | For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. |
| 3 | And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. | Mais c'est dans la faiblesse, dans la crainte, et dans un grand tremblement que je me suis présenté chez vous; | And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. |
| 4 | And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: | et ma parole et ma prédication n'avaient rien du langage persuasif de la sagesse, mais l'Esprit-Saint et la force de Dieu en démontraient la vérité : | And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: |
| 5 | That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. | afin que votre foi repose, non sur la sagesse des hommes, mais sur la puissance de Dieu. | that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. |
| 6 | Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: | Pourtant il est une sagesse que nous prêchons parmi les parfaits, sagesse qui n'est pas celle de ce siècle, ni des princes de ce siècle, dont le règne va finir. | We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought: |
| 7 | But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: | Nous prêchons une sagesse de Dieu mystérieuse et cachée, que Dieu, avant les siècles, avait destinée pour notre glorification. | but we speak God`s wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: |
| 8 | Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. | Cette sagesse, nul des princes de ce siècle ne l'a connue; - car, s'ils l'avaient connue, ils n'auraient pas crucifié le Seigneur de la gloire. | which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: |
| 9 | But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. | Mais ce sont, comme il est écrit, "des choses que l'oeil n'a point vues, que l'oreille n'a point entendues, et qui ne sont pas montées au coeur de l'homme, - des choses que Dieu a préparées pour ceux qui l'aiment." | but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him. |
| 10 | But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. | C'est à nous que Dieu les a révélées par son Esprit; car l'Esprit pénètre tout, même les profondeurs de Dieu. | But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. |
| 11 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. | Car qui d'entre les hommes connaît ce qui se passe dans l'homme, si ce n'est l'esprit de l'homme qui est en lui ? De même personne ne connaît ce qui est en Dieu, si ce n'est l'Esprit de Dieu. | For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God. |
| 12 | Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. | Pour nous, nous avons reçu non l'esprit du monde, mais l'Esprit qui vient de Dieu, afin que nous connaissions les choses que Dieu nous a données par sa grâce. | But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. |
| 13 | Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. | Et nous en parlons, non avec des paroles qu'enseigne la sagesse humaine, mais avec celles qu'enseigne l'Esprit, en exprimant les choses spirituelles par un langage spirituel. | Which things also we speak, not in words which man`s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual [words]. |
| 14 | But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. | Mais l'homme naturel ne reçoit pas les choses de l'Esprit de Dieu, car elles sont une folie pour lui, et il ne peut les connaître, parce que c'est par l'Esprit qu'on en juge. | Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. |
| 15 | But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. | L'homme spirituel, au contraire, juge de tout, et il n'est lui-même jugé par personne. | But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. |
| 16 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. | Car "qui a connu la pensée du Seigneur, pour pouvoir l'instruire ?"Mais nous, nous avons la pensée du Christ. | For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. |
