1 Peter 2:18 in Context — 1 Peter 2
16 étant libres, sans faire de la liberté un voile qui couvre la méchanceté, mais agissant comme des serviteurs de Dieu.
17 Honorez tout le monde; aimez les frères; craignez Dieu; honorez le roi.
18 Serviteurs, soyez soumis en toute crainte à vos maîtres, non seulement à ceux qui sont bons et doux, mais aussi à ceux qui sont d’un caractère difficile.
19 Car c’est une grâce que de supporter des afflictions par motif de conscience envers Dieu, quand on souffre injustement.
20 En effet, quelle gloire y a-t-il à supporter de mauvais traitements pour avoir commis des fautes? Mais si vous supportez la souffrance lorsque vous faites ce qui est bien, c’est une grâce devant Dieu.
