2 Corinthians 6

1 Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,

tasya sahAyA vayaM yuSmAn prArthayAmahE, IzvarasyAnugrahO yuSmAbhi rvRthA na gRhyatAM|

2 for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I helped you." Look, now is the "acceptable time." Look, now is the "day of salvation."

tEnOktamEtat, saMzrOSyAmi zubhE kAlE tvadIyAM prArthanAm ahaM| upakAraM kariSyAmi paritrANadinE tava| pazyatAyaM zubhakAlaH pazyatEdaM trANadinaM|

3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

asmAkaM paricaryyA yanniSkalagkA bhavEt tadarthaM vayaM kutrApi vighnaM na janayAmaH,

4 but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

kintu pracurasahiSNutA klEzO dainyaM vipat tAPanA kArAbandhanaM nivAsahInatvaM parizramO jAgaraNam upavasanaM

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

nirmmalatvaM jnjAnaM mRduzIlatA hitaiSitA

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Ruach ha-Kodesh, in sincere love,

pavitra AtmA niSkapaTaM prEma satyAlApa IzvarIyazakti

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

rdakSiNavAmAbhyAM karAbhyAM dharmmAstradhAraNaM

8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

mAnApamAnayOrakhyAtisukhyAtyO rbhAgitvam EtaiH sarvvairIzvarasya prazaMsyAn paricArakAn svAn prakAzayAmaH|

9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and look, we live; as punished, and not killed;

bhramakasamA vayaM satyavAdinO bhavAmaH, aparicitasamA vayaM suparicitA bhavAmaH, mRtakalpA vayaM jIvAmaH, daNPyamAnA vayaM na hanyAmahE,

10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

zOkayuktAzca vayaM sadAnandAmaH, daridrA vayaM bahUn dhaninaH kurmmaH, akinjcanAzca vayaM sarvvaM dhArayAmaH|

11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

hE karinthinaH, yuSmAkaM prati mamAsyaM muktaM mamAntaHkaraNAnjca vikasitaM|

12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

yUyaM mamAntarE na sagkOcitAH kinjca yUyamEva sagkOcitacittAH|

13 Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.

kintu mahyaM nyAyyaphaladAnArthaM yuSmAbhirapi vikasitai rbhavitavyam ityahaM nijabAlakAniva yuSmAn vadAmi|

14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

aparam apratyayibhiH sArddhaM yUyam EkayugE baddhA mA bhUta, yasmAd dharmmAdharmmayOH kaH sambandhO'sti? timirENa sarddhaM prabhAyA vA kA tulanAsti?

15 What agreement has Messiah with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

bilIyAladEvEna sAkaM khrISTasya vA kA sandhiH? avizvAsinA sArddhaM vA vizvAsilOkasyAMzaH kaH?

16 What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."

Izvarasya mandirENa saha vA dEvapratimAnAM kA tulanA? amarasyEzvarasya mandiraM yUyamEva| IzvarENa taduktaM yathA, tESAM madhyE'haM svAvAsaM nidhAsyAmi tESAM madhyE ca yAtAyAtaM kurvvan tESAm IzvarO bhaviSyAmi tE ca mallOkA bhaviSyanti|

17 Therefore, "'Go out from their midst, and be separate,' says the Lord, 'and touch no unclean thing,' and I will receive you.

atO hEtOH paramEzvaraH kathayati yUyaM tESAM madhyAd bahirbhUya pRthag bhavata, kimapyamEdhyaM na spRzata; tEnAhaM yuSmAn grahISyAmi,

18 "And I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty.
