2 Timothy 2:25 in Context — 2 Timothy 2

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.
