1 A s for myself, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony and evidence or mystery and secret of God in lofty words of eloquence or human philosophy and wisdom;

Pour moi, frères, lorsque je suis allé chez vous, ce n'est pas avec une supériorité de langage ou de sagesse que je suis allé vous annoncer le témoignage de Dieu.

2 F or I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.

Car je n'ai pas eu la pensée de savoir parmi vous autre chose que Jésus Christ, et Jésus Christ crucifié.

3 A nd I was in ( passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling '> after I had come] among you.

Moi-même j'étais auprès de vous dans un état de faiblesse, de crainte, et de grand tremblement;

4 A nd my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the Spirit and power '> a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them],

et ma parole et ma prédication ne reposaient pas sur les discours persuasifs de la sagesse, mais sur une démonstration d'Esprit et de puissance,

5 S o that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.

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

6 Y et when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.

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 B ut rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden and now revealed to us by God— which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification.

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

8 N one of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

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 B ut, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him '> who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed].

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

10 Y et to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God '> divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny].

Dieu nous les a révélées par l'Esprit. Car l'Esprit sonde tout, même les profondeurs de Dieu.

11 F or what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man’s thoughts except the man’s own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

Lequel des hommes, en effet, connaît les choses de l'homme, si ce n'est l'esprit de l'homme qui est en lui? De même, personne ne connaît les choses de Dieu, si ce n'est l'Esprit de Dieu.

12 N ow we have not received the spirit the world, but the Spirit Who is from God, that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts bestowed on us by God.

Or nous, nous n'avons pas reçu 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.

13 A nd we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language.

Et nous en parlons, non avec des discours qu'enseigne la sagesse humaine, mais avec ceux qu'enseigne l'Esprit, employant un langage spirituel pour les choses spirituelles.

14 B ut the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.

Mais l'homme animal 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 spirituellement qu'on en juge.

15 B ut the spiritual man tries all things '> examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one.

L'homme spirituel, au contraire, juge de tout, et il n'est lui-même jugé par personne.

16 F or who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

Car Qui a connu la pensée du Seigneur, Pour l'instruire? Or nous, nous avons la pensée de Christ.
