1 Peter 4:11 in Context — 1 Peter 4

9 Exercez l’hospitalité les uns envers les autres, sans murmures.

10 Comme de bons dispensateurs des diverses grâces de Dieu, que chacun de vous mette au service des autres le don qu’il a reçu,

11 Si quelqu’un parle, que ce soit comme annonçant les oracles de Dieu; si quelqu’un remplit un ministère, qu’il le remplisse selon la force que Dieu communique, afin qu’en toutes choses Dieu soit glorifié par Jésus-Christ, à qui appartiennent la gloire et la puissance, aux siècles des siècles. Amen!

12 Bien-aimés, ne soyez pas surpris, comme d’une chose étrange qui vous arrive, de la fournaise qui est au milieu de vous pour vous éprouver.

13 Réjouissez-vous, au contraire, de la part que vous avez aux souffrances de Christ, afin que vous soyez aussi dans la joie et dans l’allégresse lorsque sa gloire apparaîtra.
