2 Corinthians 6

1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain.

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

2 (For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored 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

3 Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια

4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

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

5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

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

6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

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

7 By 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

8 By 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

9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, 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 O you Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.

το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας κορινθιοι η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται

12 You are not straitened in us, but you are straitened in your own bowels.

ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων

13 Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as to my children, ) be you also enlarged.

την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν ως τεκνοις λεγω πλατυνθητε και υμεις

14 Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?

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

15 And what concord has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?

τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς {VAR1: βελιαρ } {VAR2: βελιαλ } η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου

16 And 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 in them; and I will be their God, and they shall 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 Why come out from among them, and be you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

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

18 And 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
