2 Peter 3:12 in Context — 2 Peter 3
10 Le jour du Seigneur viendra comme un voleur; en ce jour, les cieux passeront avec fracas, les éléments embrasés se dissoudront, et la terre avec les œuvres qu’elle renferme sera consumée.
11 Puisque donc toutes ces choses doivent se dissoudre, quelles ne doivent pas être la sainteté de votre conduite et votre piété,
12 tandis que vous attendez et hâtez l’avènement du jour de Dieu, à cause duquel les cieux enflammés se dissoudront et les éléments embrasés se fondront!
13 Mais nous attendons, selon sa promesse, de nouveaux cieux et une nouvelle terre, où la justice habitera.
14 C’est pourquoi, bien-aimés, en attendant ces choses, appliquez-vous à être trouvés par lui sans tache et irrépréhensibles dans la paix.
