2 Timothy 2:17 in Context — 2 Timothy 2

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.

19 Néanmoins, le solide fondement de Dieu reste debout, avec ces paroles qui lui servent de sceau: Le Seigneur connaît ceux qui lui appartiennent; et: Quiconque prononce le nom du Seigneur, qu’il s’éloigne de l’iniquité.
