1 Peter 4:17 in Context — 1 Peter 4
15 Que nul de vous, en effet, ne souffre comme meurtrier, ou voleur, ou malfaiteur, ou comme s’ingérant dans les affaires d’autrui.
16 Mais si quelqu’un souffre comme chrétien, qu’il n’en ait point honte, et que plutôt il glorifie Dieu à cause de ce nom.
17 Car c’est le moment où le jugement va commencer par la maison de Dieu. Or, si c’est par nous qu’il commence, quelle sera la fin de ceux qui n’obéissent pas à l’Évangile de Dieu?
18 Et si le juste se sauve avec peine, que deviendront l’impie et le pécheur?
19 Ainsi, que ceux qui souffrent selon la volonté de Dieu remettent leurs âmes au fidèle Créateur, en faisant ce qui est bien.
