2 Corinthians 12:21 in Context — 2 Corinthians 12

19 Vous vous imaginez depuis longtemps que nous nous justifions auprès de vous. C’est devant Dieu, en Christ, que nous parlons; et tout cela, bien-aimés, nous le disons pour votre édification.

20 Car je crains de ne pas vous trouver, à mon arrivée, tels que je voudrais, et d’être moi-même trouvé par vous tel que vous ne voudriez pas. Je crains de trouver des querelles, de la jalousie, des animosités, des cabales, des médisances, des calomnies, de l’orgueil, des troubles.

21 Je crains qu’à mon arrivée mon Dieu ne m’humilie de nouveau à votre sujet, et que je n’aie à pleurer sur plusieurs de ceux qui ont péché précédemment et qui ne se sont pas repentis de l’impureté, de l’impudicité et des dissolutions auxquelles ils se sont livrés.
