2 Timothy 2:16 in Context — 2 Timothy 2
14 Rappelle ces choses, en conjurant devant Dieu qu’on évite les disputes de mots, qui ne servent qu’à la ruine de ceux qui écoutent.
15 Efforce-toi de te présenter devant Dieu comme un homme éprouvé, un ouvrier qui n’a point à rougir, qui dispense droitement la parole de la vérité.
16 Évite les discours vains et profanes; car ceux qui les tiennent avanceront toujours plus dans l’impiété, et leur parole rongera comme la gangrène.
17 De ce nombre sont Hyménée et Philète,
18 qui se sont détournés de la vérité, disant que la résurrection est déjà arrivée, et qui renversent la foi de quelques uns.
