"Pécheur" est une description au présent de tout le monde, y compris de ceux qui ont mis leur foi en Christ. Bien sûr, ceux qui ont appelé Jésus "Seigneur" sont justifiés, ce qui signifie qu'ils ne sont plus coupables. De plus, ils ont reçu l'Esprit, qui les rend esclaves du Christ plutôt que du péché. Mais nous sommes tous des pécheurs. La perfection attend l'éternité.
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 150.
“Sinner” is a present-tense description of everyone, including those who have put their faith in Christ. Of course, those who have called Jesus “Lord” are justified, meaning that they are no longer guilty. Also, they have been given the Spirit, which makes them slaves to Christ rather than to sin. But we all are sinners. Perfection awaits eternity.
