2 Corinthians 10:12 in Context — 2 Corinthians 10
10 Car, dit-on, ses lettres sont sévères et fortes; mais, présent en personne, il est faible, et sa parole est méprisable.
11 Que celui qui parle de la sorte considère que tels nous sommes en paroles dans nos lettres, étant absents, tels aussi nous sommes dans nos actes, étant présents.
12 Nous n’osons pas nous égaler ou nous comparer à quelques-uns de ceux qui se recommandent eux-mêmes. Mais, en se mesurant à leur propre mesure et en se comparant à eux-mêmes, ils manquent d’intelligence.
13 Pour nous, nous ne voulons pas nous glorifier hors de toute mesure; nous prendrons, au contraire, pour mesure les limites du partage que Dieu nous a assigné, de manière à nous faire venir aussi jusqu’à vous.
14 Nous ne dépassons point nos limites, comme si nous n’étions pas venus jusqu’à vous; car c’est bien jusqu’à vous que nous sommes arrivés avec l’Évangile de Christ.
