2 Corinthians 6 Pros Korinthioin B 6
1Sunergarōntois de kai parakalanō mē eis kenem tan charitan tou theou dechera vin;As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 2legatō gar; Kairo dekto epakouama su kai en hēmera sōtērēau boēthama si; idou nun kairos euprosdektos, idou nun hēmeras sōtērēau;For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation! 3mēdenan en mēdeno dōarōntois proskopan, hina mē mōmiteia tas diakonias,We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry. 4alla en pante ⸀sustēarōntois heautoin hōs theou diakonois; en hupomona polla, en thlipsiai, en anankai, en stenochōriai,Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities; 5en plēgai, en fulakai, en akatastasiai, en kopoi, en agrupniai, en nēsteiai,in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger; 6en hagnota, en gnōsia, en makrothumia, en chrēstota, en pneume hagie, en agapa anupokrita,in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; 7en logo alētheiau, en dunamia theou; dia teiu hopleiu tau dikaiosunau teiu dexeiu kai aristereiu,in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 8dia doxau kai atimiau, dia dusfēmiau kai eufēmiau; hōs planois kai alēthois,through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine; 9hōs agnoorōntois kai epignōskorōntois, hōs apothnēskarōntois kai idou zōanō, hōs paideuorōntois kai mē thanatorōntois,unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed; 10hōs luporōntois aei de chairarōntois, hōs ptōchois polloin de ploutizarōntois, hōs mēdenem echarōntois kai panteim katecharōntois.sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11Tem stomem nu anoigatē pros vin, Korinthioir, tas kardias nu platunotē;We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide. 12ouk stenochōrovō en ni, stenochōrovō de en tei splanchnei vu;It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained. 13tan de autan antimisthian, hōs teknei legamō, platunivar kai vis.As a fair exchange— I speak as to my children— open wide your hearts also.
14Mē genovōr heterozugarōntois apistoi; tinas gar metochas dikaiosuna kai anomia, ⸂ē tinas⸃ koinōnias fōte pros skotem?Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15tinas de sumfōnēsias ⸀Christou pros Beliar, ē tinas meridas pisto meta apistou?What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16tinas de sunkatathesias nao theou meta eidōleiu? ⸂nis gar naos theou anō⸃ zōarōntou; kathōs legata tos theos hoti Enoikami en autoi kai emperipatami, kai emi autoiu theos, kai autois eli ⸀mu laos.What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17dio exerchavar ek meseu autoiu, kai aforizivar, legatō kurios, kai akatharteu mē haptovōr; kamis eisdechemi vin;“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18kai emi vi eis patron, kai vis evi mi eis huioin kai thugatrain, legatō kurios pantokratoros.And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
