1 Peter 3:12 in Context — 1 Peter 3
10 Si quelqu’un, en effet, veut aimer la vie Et voir des jours heureux, Qu’il préserve sa langue du mal Et ses lèvres des paroles trompeuses,
11 Qu’il s’éloigne du mal et fasse le bien, Qu’il recherche la paix et la poursuive;
12 Car les yeux du Seigneur sont sur les justes Et ses oreilles sont attentives à leur prière, Mais la face du Seigneur est contre ceux qui font le mal.
13 Et qui vous maltraitera, si vous êtes zélés pour le bien?
14 D’ailleurs, quand vous souffririez pour la justice, vous seriez heureux. N’ayez d’eux aucune crainte, et ne soyez pas troublés;
