2 Peter 2:12 in Context — 2 Peter 2
10 ceux surtout qui vont après la chair dans un désir d’impureté et qui méprisent l’autorité. Audacieux et arrogants, ils ne craignent pas d’injurier les gloires,
11 tandis que les anges, supérieurs en force et en puissance, ne portent pas contre elles de jugement injurieux devant le Seigneur.
12 Mais eux, semblables à des brutes qui s’abandonnent à leurs penchants naturels et qui sont nées pour être prises et détruites, ils parlent d’une manière injurieuse de ce qu’ils ignorent, et ils périront par leur propre corruption,
13 recevant ainsi le salaire de leur iniquité. Ils trouvent leurs délices à se livrer au plaisir en plein jour; hommes tarés et souillés, ils se délectent dans leurs tromperies, en faisant bonne chère avec vous.
14 Ils ont les yeux pleins d’adultère et insatiables de péché; ils amorcent les âmes mal affermies; ils ont le cœur exercé à la cupidité; ce sont des enfants de malédiction.
