< 2 Corinthians 6 >

1 And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —
tasya sahAyA vayaM yuShmAn prArthayAmahe, IshvarasyAnugraho yuShmAbhi rvR^ithA na gR^ihyatAM|
2 for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —
tenoktametat, saMshroShyAmi shubhe kAle tvadIyAM prArthanAm ahaM| upakAraM kariShyAmi paritrANadine tava| pashyatAyaM shubhakAlaH pashyatedaM trANadinaM|
3 in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
asmAkaM paricharyyA yanniShkala NkA bhavet tadarthaM vayaM kutrApi vighnaM na janayAmaH,
4 but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
kintu prachurasahiShNutA klesho dainyaM vipat tADanA kArAbandhanaM nivAsahInatvaM parishramo jAgaraNam upavasanaM
5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
nirmmalatvaM j nAnaM mR^idushIlatA hitaiShitA
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
pavitra AtmA niShkapaTaM prema satyAlApa IshvarIyashakti
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
rdakShiNavAmAbhyAM karAbhyAM dharmmAstradhAraNaM
8 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
mAnApamAnayorakhyAtisukhyAtyo rbhAgitvam etaiH sarvvairIshvarasya prashaMsyAn parichArakAn svAn prakAshayAmaH|
9 as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
bhramakasamA vayaM satyavAdino bhavAmaH, aparichitasamA vayaM suparichitA bhavAmaH, mR^itakalpA vayaM jIvAmaH, daNDyamAnA vayaM na hanyAmahe,
10 as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
shokayuktAshcha vayaM sadAnandAmaH, daridrA vayaM bahUn dhaninaH kurmmaH, aki nchanAshcha vayaM sarvvaM dhArayAmaH|
11 Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
he karinthinaH, yuShmAkaM prati mamAsyaM muktaM mamAntaHkaraNA ncha vikasitaM|
12 ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
yUyaM mamAntare na sa NkochitAH ki ncha yUyameva sa NkochitachittAH|
13 and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it], ) be ye enlarged — also ye!
kintu mahyaM nyAyyaphaladAnArthaM yuShmAbhirapi vikasitai rbhavitavyam ityahaM nijabAlakAniva yuShmAn vadAmi|
14 Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
aparam apratyayibhiH sArddhaM yUyam ekayuge baddhA mA bhUta, yasmAd dharmmAdharmmayoH kaH sambandho. asti? timireNa sarddhaM prabhAyA vA kA tulanAsti?
15 and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
bilIyAladevena sAkaM khrIShTasya vA kA sandhiH? avishvAsinA sArddhaM vA vishvAsilokasyAMshaH kaH?
16 and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
Ishvarasya mandireNa saha vA devapratimAnAM kA tulanA? amarasyeshvarasya mandiraM yUyameva| IshvareNa taduktaM yathA, teShAM madhye. ahaM svAvAsaM nidhAsyAmi teShAM madhye cha yAtAyAtaM kurvvan teShAm Ishvaro bhaviShyAmi te cha mallokA bhaviShyanti|
17 wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,
ato hetoH parameshvaraH kathayati yUyaM teShAM madhyAd bahirbhUya pR^ithag bhavata, kimapyamedhyaM na spR^ishata; tenAhaM yuShmAn grahIShyAmi,
18 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
yuShmAkaM pitA bhaviShyAmi cha, yUya ncha mama kanyAputrA bhaviShyatheti sarvvashaktimatA parameshvareNoktaM|
