2 Peter 3:16 in Context — 2 Peter 3
14 C’est pourquoi, bien-aimés, en attendant ces choses, appliquez-vous à être trouvés par lui sans tache et irrépréhensibles dans la paix.
15 Croyez que la patience de notre Seigneur est votre salut, comme notre bien-aimé frère Paul vous l’a aussi écrit, selon la sagesse qui lui a été donnée.
16 C’est ce qu’il fait dans toutes les lettres, où il parle de ces choses, dans lesquelles il y a des points difficiles à comprendre, dont les personnes ignorantes et mal affermies tordent le sens, comme celui des autres Écritures, pour leur propre ruine.
17 Vous donc, bien-aimés, qui êtes avertis, mettez-vous sur vos gardes, de peur qu’entraînés par l’égarement des impies, vous ne veniez à déchoir de votre fermeté.
18 Mais croissez dans la grâce et dans la connaissance de notre Seigneur et Sauveur Jésus-Christ. A lui soit la gloire, maintenant et pour l’éternité! Amen!
