Luke 6:23 in Context — Luke 6

21 Heureux vous qui avez faim maintenant, car vous serez rassasiés! Heureux vous qui pleurez maintenant, car vous serez dans la joie!

22 Heureux serez-vous, lorsque les hommes vous haïront, lorsqu’on vous chassera, vous outragera, et qu’on rejettera votre nom comme infâme, à cause du Fils de l’homme!

23 Réjouissez-vous en ce jour-là et tressaillez d’allégresse, parce que votre récompense sera grande dans le ciel;car c’est ainsi que leurs pères traitaient les prophètes.

24 Mais, malheur à vous, riches, car vous avez votre consolation!

25 Malheur à vous qui êtes rassasiés, car vous aurez faim! Malheur à vous qui riez maintenant,car vous serez dans le deuil et dans les larmes!
