2 Timothy 4:2 in Context — 2 Timothy 4

1 Je t’en conjure devant Dieu et devant Jésus-Christ, qui doit juger les vivants et les morts, et au nom de son apparition et de son royaume,

2 prêche la parole, insiste en toute occasion, favorable ou non, reprends, censure, exhorte, avec toute douceur et en instruisant.

3 Car il viendra un temps où les hommes ne supporteront pas la saine doctrine; mais, ayant la démangeaison d’entendre des choses agréables, ils se donneront une foule de docteurs selon leurs propres désirs,

4 détourneront l’oreille de la vérité, et se tourneront vers les fables.
