Titus 3:9 in Context — Titus 3
7 afin que, justifiés par sa grâce, nous devenions, en espérance, héritiers de la vie éternelle.
8 Cette parole est certaine, et je veux que tu affirmes ces choses, afin que ceux qui ont cru en Dieu s’appliquent à pratiquer de bonnes œuvres. Voilà ce qui est bon et utile aux hommes.
9 Mais évite les discussions folles, les généalogies, les querelles, les disputes relatives à la loi; car elles sont inutiles et vaines.
10 Éloigne de toi, après un premier et un second avertissement, celui qui provoque des divisions,
11 sachant qu’un homme de cette espèce est perverti, et qu’il pèche, en se condamnant lui-même.
