2 Corinthians 6

1We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

συνεργουντες δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εις κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμας —

2For He says: 'In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.' Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, 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 —

3We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην, ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια,

4But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντες εαυτους ως θεου διακονοι, εν υπομονη πολλη, εν θλιψεσιν, εν αναγκαις, εν στενοχωριαις,

5in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;

εν πληγαις, εν φυλακαις, εν ακαταστασιαις, εν κοποις, εν αγρυπνιαις, εν νηστειαις,

6by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,

εν αγνοτητι, εν γνωσει, εν μακροθυμια, εν χρηστοτητι, εν πνευματι αγιω, εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω,

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

εν λογω αληθειας, εν δυναμει θεου, δια των οπλων της δικαιοσυνης των δεξιων και αριστερων,

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

δια δοξης και ατιμιας, δια δυσφημιας και ευφημιας, ως πλανοι και αληθεις,

9as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed;

ως αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι, ως αποθνησκοντες και ιδου ζωμεν, ως παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι,

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

ως λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντες, ως πτωχοι πολλους δε πλουτιζοντες, ως μηδεν εχοντες και παντα κατεχοντες.

11O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας, κορινθιοι, η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται·

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

ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν, στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων·

13Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν, ως τεκνοις λεγω, πλατυνθητε και υμεις.

14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντες απιστοις· τις γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια; τις δε κοινωνια φωτι προς σκοτος;

15And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς βελιαλ; η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου;

16And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: 'I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.' 'Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord.

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.

17Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.'

διο εξελθατε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε, λεγει κυριος, και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε, καγω εισδεξομαι υμας,

18'I will be a Father to you, And you shall 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.
