2 Corinthians 6
1 As workers together with God we also plead with you not to make your acceptance of God's grace worthless.
συνεργουντεσ δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εισ κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμασ
2 Just as God said, “At the right time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I rescued you.” Believe me: now is the right time! 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 don't put anything in anyone's way that would trip them up, making sure the work we do won't be criticized.
μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντεσ προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια
4 Instead we try to demonstrate we are good servants of God in every way we can. With a great deal of patience we put up with all kinds of trouble, hardship, and distress.
αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντεσ εαυτουσ ωσ θεου διακονοι εν υπομονη πολλη εν θλιψεσιν εν αναγκαισ εν στενοχωριαισ
5 We have been beaten up, thrown into prison, and attacked by mobs. We have been worked to the bone, suffering sleepless nights and hunger.
εν πληγαισ εν φυλακαισ εν ακαταστασιαισ εν κοποισ εν αγρυπνιαισ εν νηστειαισ
6 We demonstrate who we are by living blameless lives in the knowledge of God, with a great deal of patience, being kind and filled with the Holy Spirit, showing sincere love.
εν αγνοτητι εν γνωσει εν μακροθυμια εν χρηστοτητι εν πνευματι αγιω εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω
7 We speak truthfully, living in the power of God. Our weapons consist of what is true and right; we attack with our right hand and we defend with our left.
εν λογω αληθειασ εν δυναμει θεου δια των οπλων τησ δικαιοσυνησ των δεξιων και αριστερων
8 We continue whether we are honored or dishonored, whether we are cursed or praised. People call us frauds but we tell the truth.
δια δοξησ και ατιμιασ δια δυσφημιασ και ευφημιασ ωσ πλανοι και αληθεισ
9 We are disregarded, even though we are well-known; given up for dead, but we're still alive; lashed, but not killed.
ωσ αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι ωσ αποθνησκοντεσ και ιδου ζωμεν ωσ παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι
10 Seen as miserable, we are always rejoicing; as poor, but we make many rich; as destitute, but we own everything!
ωσ λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντεσ ωσ πτωχοι πολλουσ δε πλουτιζοντεσ ωσ μηδεν εχοντεσ και παντα κατεχοντεσ
11 I've been speaking bluntly, my Corinthian friends, loving you with a big heart!
το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προσ υμασ κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται
12 We haven't kept our love from you, but you have kept your love from us.
ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοισ σπλαγχνοισ υμων
13 Please respond in the same way, as if you were my children, and be big-hearted!
την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ωσ τεκνοισ λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεισ
14 Don't join together with people who don't believe—for what connection does goodness have with wickedness? What do light and darkness have in common?
μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντεσ απιστοισ τισ γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια τισ δε κοινωνια φωτι προσ σκοτοσ
15 How could Christ and the Devil ever agree? How could a believer and an unbeliever share together?
τισ δε συμφωνησισ χριστω προσ βελιαρ η τισ μερισ πιστω μετα απιστου
16 What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live in them and walk among 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 “So leave them, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch anything that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
διο εξελθετε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε λεγει κυριοσ και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε καγω εισδεξομαι υμασ
18 “I will be like a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
και εσομαι υμιν εισ πατερα και υμεισ εσεσθε μοι εισ υιουσ και θυγατερασ λεγει κυριοσ παντοκρατωρ
