2 Peter 3:5 in Context — 2 Peter 3
3 sachant avant tout que, dans les derniers jours, il viendra des moqueurs avec leurs railleries, marchant selon leurs propres convoitises,
4 et disant: Où est la promesse de son avènement? Car, depuis que les pères sont morts, tout demeure comme dès le commencement de la création.
5 Ils veulent ignorer, en effet, que des cieux existèrent autrefois par la parole de Dieu, de même qu’une terre tirée de l’eau et formée au moyen de l’eau,
6 et que par ces choses le monde d’alors périt, submergé par l’eau,
7 tandis que, par la même parole, les cieux et la terre d’à présent sont gardés et réservés pour le feu, pour le jour du jugement et de la ruine des hommes impies.
