2 Corinthians 6
1 Working together with him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
συνεργουντες δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εις κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμας
2 For he says, “In a favorable time I paid attention to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Look, now is the favorable 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 do not place a stumbling block in front of anyone, for we do not wish our ministry to be discredited.
μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια
4 Instead, we prove ourselves by all our actions, that we are God's servants. We are his servants in much endurance, affliction, distress, hardship,
αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντες εαυτους ως θεου διακονοι εν υπομονη πολλη εν θλιψεσιν εν αναγκαις εν στενοχωριαις
5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, in hard work, in sleepless nights, in hunger,
εν πληγαις εν φυλακαις εν ακαταστασιαις εν κοποις εν αγρυπνιαις εν νηστειαις
6 in purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love.
εν αγνοτητι εν γνωσει εν μακροθυμια εν χρηστοτητι εν πνευματι αγιω εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω
7 We are his servants in the word of truth, in the power of God. We have the armor of righteousness for the right hand and for the left.
εν λογω αληθειας εν δυναμει θεου δια των οπλων της δικαιοσυνης των δεξιων και αριστερων
8 We work in honor and dishonor, in slander and praise. We are accused of being deceitful and yet we are truthful.
δια δοξης και ατιμιας δια δυσφημιας και ευφημιας ως πλανοι και αληθεις
9 We work as if we were unknown and we are still well known. We work as dying and—see!—we are still living. We work as being punished for our actions but not as condemned to death.
ως αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι ως αποθνησκοντες και ιδου ζωμεν ως παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι
10 We work as sorrowful, but we are always rejoicing. We work as poor, but we are making many rich. We work as having nothing and yet as possessing all things.
ως λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντες ως πτωχοι πολλους δε πλουτιζοντες ως μηδεν εχοντες και παντα κατεχοντες
11 We have spoken the whole truth to you, Corinthians, and our heart is wide open.
το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται
12 You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own hearts.
ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων
13 Now in fair exchange—I speak as to children—open yourselves wide also.
την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ως τεκνοις λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεις
14 Do not be tied together with unbelievers. For what association does righteousness have with lawlessness? For what fellowship does light have with darkness?
μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντες απιστοις τις γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια τις δε κοινωνια φωτι προς σκοτος
15 What agreement can Christ have with Beliar? Or what share does a believer have together with an unbeliever?
τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς βελιαρ η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου
16 And what agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will dwell among them and walk among them. 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, “Come out from among them, and be set apart,” says the Lord. “Touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you.
διο εξελθετε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε λεγει κυριος και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε καγω εισδεξομαι υμας
18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty.
και εσομαι υμιν εις πατερα και υμεις εσεσθε μοι εις υιους και θυγατερας λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
