Προς Κορινθιους Β΄ 6
1 συνεργουντες δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εις κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμας
And as helpers, we beseech of you that the grace of Aloha which you have received be not made ineffectual in you.
2 λεγει γαρ καιρω δεκτω επηκουσα σου και εν ημερα σωτηριας εβοηθησα σοι ιδου νυν καιρος ευπροσδεκτος ιδου νυν ημερα σωτηριας
For he hath said, In the time acceptable I have heard thee, And in the day of salvation I have helped thee. Behold, Now is the time acceptable; behold, Now is the day of salvation.
3 μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια
Nor in any thing give to any man occasion of stumbling, that no blemish may be upon our ministry;
4 αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντες εαυτους ως θεου διακονοι εν υπομονη πολλη εν θλιψεσιν εν αναγκαις εν στενοχωριαις
but in every thing will we demonstrate ourselves that we are the ministers of Aloha; by much patience, by afflictions, by necessity, by imprisonments,
5 εν πληγαις εν φυλακαις εν ακαταστασιαις εν κοποις εν αγρυπνιαις εν νηστειαις
by stripes, by chains, by tumults, by labour, by watching, by fasting,
6 εν αγνοτητι εν γνωσει εν μακροθυμια εν χρηστοτητι εν πνευματι αγιω εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω
by purity, by knowledge, by prolonging the mind, by benignity, by the Spirit of Holiness, by love without deceit,
7 εν λογω αληθειας εν δυναμει θεου δια των οπλων της δικαιοσυνης των δεξιων και αριστερων
by the doctrine of truth, by the power of Aloha, by the arms of righteousness for the right hand and for the left,
8 δια δοξης και ατιμιας δια δυσφημιας και ευφημιας ως πλανοι και αληθεις
by glory and by shame, by praise and by abuse; as deceivers, and true;
9 ως αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι ως αποθνησκοντες και ιδου ζωμεν ως παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι
as unknown, and yet we are known; as dead, yet, lo, we live; as chastened, yet we die not;
10 ως λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντες ως πτωχοι πολλους δε πλουτιζοντες ως μηδεν εχοντες και παντα κατεχοντες
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet many making rich; as having nothing, yet possessing every thing.
11 το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται
OUR mouth is opened to you, Kurinthoyee, and our heart expanded.
12 ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων
You are not constrained in us, but you are constrained in your own bowels.
13 την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ως τεκνοις λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεις
But as unto (my) children, I say to you, Render to me my gains which are with you, and expand your love towards me.
14 μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντες απιστοις τις γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια τις δε κοινωνια φωτι προς σκοτος
And be not sons of the yoke with them who believe not. For what participation hath righteousness with iniquity? Or what commixture hath the light with darkness?
15 τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς {VAR1: βελιαρ } {VAR2: βελιαλ } η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου
Or what concord hath the Meshiha with Satana? Or what portion hath the believer with the unbeliever?
16 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
Or what union hath the temple of Aloha with (that) of demons? For you are the temple of Aloha the living; as it is written, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; And I will be their God, And they shall be to me a people.
17 διο εξελθετε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε λεγει κυριος και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε καγω εισδεξομαι υμας
Wherefore come out from among them, And be separate from them, (saith the Lord, ) And the impure touch not; And I will receive you,
18 και εσομαι υμιν εις πατερα και υμεις εσεσθε μοι εις υιους και θυγατερας λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
And I will be to you a Father, And you shall be to me for sons and daughters, Saith the Lord, who holdeth all.
