2 Corinthians 5:11 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5

9 C’est pour cela aussi que nous nous efforçons de lui être agréables, soit que nous demeurions dans ce corps, soit que nous le quittions.

10 Car il nous faut tous comparaître devant le tribunal de Christ, afin que chacun reçoive selon le bien ou le mal qu’il aura fait, étant dans son corps.

11 Connaissant donc la crainte du Seigneur, nous cherchons à convaincre les hommes; Dieu nous connaît, et j’espère que dans vos consciences vous nous connaissez aussi.

12 Nous ne nous recommandons pas de nouveau nous-mêmes auprès de vous; mais nous vous donnons occasion de vous glorifier à notre sujet, afin que vous puissiez répondre à ceux qui tirent gloire de ce qui est dans les apparences et non dans le cœur.

13 En effet, si je suis hors de sens, c’est pour Dieu; si je suis de bon sens, c’est pour vous.
