2 Peter 2:9 in Context — 2 Peter 2
7 et s’il a délivré le juste Lot, profondément attristé de la conduite de ces hommes sans frein dans leur dissolution
8 (car ce juste, qui habitait au milieu d’eux, tourmentait journellement son âme juste à cause de ce qu’il voyait et entendait de leurs œuvres criminelles);
9 le Seigneur sait délivrer de l’épreuve les hommes pieux, et réserver les injustes pour être punis au jour du jugement,
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.
