1 Peter 3:18 in Context — 1 Peter 3

16 et ayant une bonne conscience, afin que, là même où ils vous calomnient comme si vous étiez des malfaiteurs, ceux qui décrient votre bonne conduite en Christ soient couverts de confusion.

17 Car il vaut mieux souffrir, si telle est la volonté de Dieu, en faisant le bien qu’en faisant le mal.

18 Christ aussi a souffert une fois pour les péchés, lui juste pour des injustes, afin de nous amener à Dieu, ayant été mis à mort quant à la chair, mais ayant été rendu vivant quant à l’Esprit,

19 dans lequel aussi il est allé prêcher aux esprits en prison,

20 qui autrefois avaient été incrédules, lorsque la patience de Dieu se prolongeait, aux jours de Noé, pendant la construction de l’arche, dans laquelle un petit nombre de personnes, c’est-à-dire, huit, furent sauvées à travers l’eau.
