2 Corinthians 6

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

tasya sahāyā vayaṁ yuṣmān prārthayāmahe, īśvarasyānugraho yuṣmābhi rvṛthā na gṛhyatāṁ|

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, saṁśroṣyāmi śubhe kāle tvadīyāṁ prārthanām ahaṁ| upakāraṁ kariṣyāmi paritrāṇadine tava| paśyatāyaṁ śubhakālaḥ paśyatedaṁ trāṇadinaṁ|

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

asmākaṁ paricaryyā yanniṣkalaṅkā bhavet tadarthaṁ vayaṁ kutrāpi vighnaṁ na janayāmaḥ,

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

kintu pracurasahiṣṇutā kleśo dainyaṁ vipat tāḍanā kārābandhanaṁ nivāsahīnatvaṁ pariśramo jāgaraṇam upavasanaṁ

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

nirmmalatvaṁ jñānaṁ mṛduśīlatā hitaiṣitā

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

pavitra ātmā niṣkapaṭaṁ prema satyālāpa īśvarīyaśakti

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

rdakṣiṇavāmābhyāṁ karābhyāṁ dharmmāstradhāraṇaṁ

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

mānāpamānayorakhyātisukhyātyo rbhāgitvam etaiḥ sarvvairīśvarasya praśaṁsyān paricārakān svān prakāśayāmaḥ|

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

bhramakasamā vayaṁ satyavādino bhavāmaḥ, aparicitasamā vayaṁ suparicitā bhavāmaḥ, mṛtakalpā vayaṁ jīvāmaḥ, daṇḍyamānā vayaṁ na hanyāmahe,

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

śokayuktāśca vayaṁ sadānandāmaḥ, daridrā vayaṁ bahūn dhaninaḥ kurmmaḥ, akiñcanāśca vayaṁ sarvvaṁ dhārayāmaḥ|

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

he karinthinaḥ, yuṣmākaṁ prati mamāsyaṁ muktaṁ mamāntaḥkaraṇāñca vikasitaṁ|

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

yūyaṁ mamāntare na saṅkocitāḥ kiñca yūyameva saṅkocitacittāḥ|

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

kintu mahyaṁ nyāyyaphaladānārthaṁ yuṣmābhirapi vikasitai rbhavitavyam ityahaṁ nijabālakāniva yuṣmān vadāmi|

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

aparam apratyayibhiḥ sārddhaṁ yūyam ekayuge baddhā mā bhūta, yasmād dharmmādharmmayoḥ kaḥ sambandho'sti? timireṇa sarddhaṁ prabhāyā vā kā tulanāsti?

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

bilīyāladevena sākaṁ khrīṣṭasya vā kā sandhiḥ? aviśvāsinā sārddhaṁ vā viśvāsilokasyāṁśaḥ kaḥ?

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."

īśvarasya mandireṇa saha vā devapratimānāṁ kā tulanā? amarasyeśvarasya mandiraṁ yūyameva| īśvareṇa taduktaṁ yathā, teṣāṁ madhye'haṁ svāvāsaṁ nidhāsyāmi teṣāṁ madhye ca yātāyātaṁ kurvvan teṣām īśvaro bhaviṣyāmi te ca mallokā bhaviṣyanti|

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

ato hetoḥ parameśvaraḥ kathayati yūyaṁ teṣāṁ madhyād bahirbhūya pṛthag bhavata, kimapyamedhyaṁ na spṛśata; tenāhaṁ yuṣmān grahīṣyāmi,

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

yuṣmākaṁ pitā bhaviṣyāmi ca, yūyañca mama kanyāputrā bhaviṣyatheti sarvvaśaktimatā parameśvareṇoktaṁ|
