2 Timothy 2:24 in Context — 2 Timothy 2
22 Fuis les passions de la jeunesse, et recherche la justice, la foi, la charité, la paix, avec ceux qui invoquent le Seigneur d’un cœur pur.
23 Repousse les discussions folles et inutiles, sachant qu’elles font naître des querelles.
24 Or, il ne faut pas qu’un serviteur du Seigneur ait des querelles; il doit, au contraire, avoir de la condescendance pour tous, être propre à enseigner, doué de patience;
25 il doit redresser avec douceur les adversaires, dans l’espérance que Dieu leur donnera la repentance pour arriver à la connaissance de la vérité,
26 et que, revenus à leur bon sens, ils se dégageront des pièges du diable, qui s’est emparé d’eux pour les soumettre à sa volonté.
