2 Corinthians 6

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

συνεργουντες δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εις κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμας

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."

λεγει γαρ καιρω δεκτω επηκουσα σου και εν ημερα σωτηριας εβοηθησα σοι ιδου νυν καιρος ευπροσδεκτος ιδου νυν ημερα σωτηριας

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

μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια

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

αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντες εαυτους ως θεου διακονοι εν υπομονη πολλη εν θλιψεσιν εν αναγκαις εν στενοχωριαις

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

εν πληγαις εν φυλακαις εν ακαταστασιαις εν κοποις εν αγρυπνιαις εν νηστειαις

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

εν αγνοτητι εν γνωσει εν μακροθυμια εν χρηστοτητι εν πνευματι αγιω εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω

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

εν λογω αληθειας εν δυναμει θεου δια των οπλων της δικαιοσυνης των δεξιων και αριστερων

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

δια δοξης και ατιμιας δια δυσφημιας και ευφημιας ως πλανοι και αληθεις

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

ως αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι ως αποθνησκοντες και ιδου ζωμεν ως παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι

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

ως λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντες ως πτωχοι πολλους δε πλουτιζοντες ως μηδεν εχοντες και παντα κατεχοντες

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

το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται

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

ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων

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

την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ως τεκνοις λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεις

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

μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντες απιστοις τις γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια τις δε κοινωνια φωτι προς σκοτος

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

τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς βελιαρ η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου

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."

τις δε συγκαταθεσις ναω θεου μετα ειδωλων υμεις γαρ ναος θεου εστε ζωντος καθως ειπεν ο θεος οτι ενοικησω εν αυτοις και εμπεριπατησω και εσομαι αυτων θεος και αυτοι εσονται μοι λαος

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

διο εξελθετε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε λεγει κυριος και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε καγω εισδεξομαι υμας

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

και εσομαι υμιν εις πατερα και υμεις εσεσθε μοι εις υιους και θυγατερας λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
