1 Timothy 3:15 in Context — 1 Timothy 3
13 car ceux qui remplissent convenablement leur ministère s’acquièrent un rang honorable, et une grande assurance dans la foi en Jésus-Christ.
14 Je t’écris ces choses, avec l’espérance d’aller bientôt vers toi,
15 mais afin que tu saches, si je tarde, comment il faut se conduire dans la maison de Dieu, qui est l’Église du Dieu vivant, la colonne et l’appui de la vérité.
16 Et, sans contredit, le mystère de la piété est grand: celui qui a été manifesté en chair, justifié par l’Esprit, vu des anges, prêché aux Gentils, cru dans le monde, élevé dans la gloire.
