2 Corinthians 6

1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.

συνεργουντεσ δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εισ κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμασ

2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable 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

3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντεσ προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια

4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντεσ εαυτουσ ωσ θεου διακονοι εν υπομονη πολλη εν θλιψεσιν εν αναγκαισ εν στενοχωριαισ

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,

εν πληγαισ εν φυλακαισ εν ακαταστασιαισ εν κοποισ εν αγρυπνιαισ εν νηστειαισ

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

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

7 in the word of truth, in 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

8 by glory 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

9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,

ωσ αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι ωσ αποθνησκοντεσ και ιδου ζωμεν ωσ παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι

10 as 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

11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προσ υμασ κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται

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

ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοισ σπλαγχνοισ υμων

13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.

την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ωσ τεκνοισ λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεισ

14 Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντεσ απιστοισ τισ γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια τισ δε κοινωνια φωτι προσ σκοτοσ

15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?

τισ δε συμφωνησισ χριστω προσ βελιαρ η τισ μερισ πιστω μετα απιστου

16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

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 Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

διο εξελθετε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε λεγει κυριοσ και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε καγω εισδεξομαι υμασ

18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

και εσομαι υμιν εισ πατερα και υμεισ εσεσθε μοι εισ υιουσ και θυγατερασ λεγει κυριοσ παντοκρατωρ
