| [1]And as aiders we entreat of you, that the grace of God which ye have received, may not be ineffectual in you. |
[1]συνεργουντες δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εις κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμας |
| [2]For he hath said, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in the day of life I have aided thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time ! and behold, now is the day of life ! |
[2]λεγει γαρ καιρω δεκτω επηκουσα σου και εν ημερα σωτηριας εβοηθησα σοι ιδου νυν καιρος ευπροσδεκτος ιδου νυν ημερα σωτηριας |
| [3]Give ye no occasion of offence to any one in any thing, that there may be no reproach on our ministry. |
[3]μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια |
| [4]But we, in all things, would show ourselves to be the ministers of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessity, in distresses, |
[4]αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντες εαυτους ως θεου διακονοι εν υπομονη πολλη εν θλιψεσιν εν αναγκαις εν στενοχωριαις |
| [5]in scourgings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toil, in watching, in fasting; |
[5]εν πληγαις εν φυλακαις εν ακαταστασιαις εν κοποις εν αγρυπνιαις εν νηστειαις |
| [6]by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by benignity, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned, |
[6]εν αγνοτητι εν γνωσει εν μακροθυμια εν χρηστοτητι εν πνευματι αγιω εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω |
| [7]by the speaking of truth, by the energy of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left; |
[7]εν λογω αληθειας εν δυναμει θεου δια των οπλων της δικαιοσυνης των δεξιων και αριστερων |
| [8]amid honor and dishonor, amid praise and contumely; as deceivers, and yet true; |
[8]δια δοξης και ατιμιας δια δυσφημιας και ευφημιας ως πλανοι και αληθεις |
| [9]as not known, and yet we are well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastised, yet not killed; |
[9]ως αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι ως αποθνησκοντες και ιδου ζωμεν ως παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι |
| [10]as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as indigent, yet enriching many; as possessing nothing, yet having all things. |
[10]ως λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντες ως πτωχοι πολλους δε πλουτιζοντες ως μηδεν εχοντες και παντα κατεχοντες |
| [11]O ye Corinthians, our mouth is opened towards you, and our heart expanded. |
[11]το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται |
| [12]Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. |
[12]ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων |
| [13]I speak as to [my] children, Pay me the debt which ye owe, and expand your love towards me. |
[13]την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ως τεκνοις λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεις |
| [14]And be ye not yoke-fellows with them that believe not: for what fellowship hath righteousness with iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? |
[14]μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντες απιστοις τις γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια τις δε κοινωνια φωτι προς σκοτος |
| [15]or what concord hath the Messiah with Satan? or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever? |
[15]τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς βελιαρ η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου |
| [16]or what agreement hath the temple of God with that of demons? For ye are the temple of the living God; as it is said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God, and they shall be my people. |
[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 |
| [17]Wherefore, come ye out from among them, and be ye separate from them, saith the Lord; and come not near the unclean thing, and I will receive you; |
[17]διο εξελθετε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε λεγει κυριος και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε καγω εισδεξομαι υμας |
| [18]and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be sons and daughters to me, saith the Lord Almighty. |
[18]και εσομαι υμιν εις πατερα και υμεις εσεσθε μοι εις υιους και θυγατερας λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ |
