1[As] [God’s] fellow workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 1Συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς
2For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in [the] day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now [is the] time of favor; now [is the] day of salvation! 2λέγει γάρ Καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι Ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας
3We put no obstacle in [anyone’s] {way}, so that no one can discredit [our] ministry. 3Μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ διακονία
4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, [and] calamities; 4ἀλλ’ ἐν παντὶ συνιστάνοντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς Θεοῦ διάκονοι ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ ἐν θλίψεσιν ἐν ἀνάγκαις ἐν στενοχωρίαις
5in beatings, imprisonments, [and] riots; in labor, sleepless nights, [and] hunger; 5ἐν πληγαῖς ἐν φυλακαῖς ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις ἐν κόποις ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις ἐν νηστείαις
6in purity, knowledge, patience, [and] kindness; in [the] Holy Spirit [and] in sincere love; 6ἐν ἁγνότητι ἐν γνώσει ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ ἐν χρηστότητι ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ
7in truthful speech [and] in [the] power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in [the] left; 7ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν
8through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine; 8διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς
9as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed; 9ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι ὡς ἀποθνήσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι
10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet {making} many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 10ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες
11We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide. 11Τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς Κορίνθιοι καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται
12[It is] not our affection, [but] yours that is restrained. 12οὐ στενοχωρεῖσθε ἐν ἡμῖν στενοχωρεῖσθε δὲ ἐν τοῖς σπλάγχνοις ὑμῶν
13[As] a fair exchange, I ask [you] as [my] children: Open wide your [hearts] also. 13τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν ὡς τέκνοις λέγω πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς
14{Do} not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership [can] righteousness [have with] wickedness? Or what fellowship [does] light [have] with darkness? 14Μὴ γίνεσθε ἑτεροζυγοῦντες ἀπίστοις τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ τίς κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος
15What harmony [is there between] Christ and Belial? Or what {does} a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 15τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστοῦ πρὸς Βελιάρ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου
16What agreement [can exist] between the temple of God [and] idols? For we are [the] temple of [the] living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 16τίς δὲ συνκατάθεσις ναῷ Θεοῦ μετὰ εἰδώλων ἡμεῖς γὰρ ναὸς Θεοῦ ἐσμεν ζῶντος καθὼς εἶπεν Θεὸς ὅτι Ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω* καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν Θεός καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μου λαός
17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says [the] Lord. Touch no unclean {thing}, and I will receive you.” 17Διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀφορίσθητε λέγει Κύριος καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς
18And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says [the] Lord Almighty.” 18Καὶ Ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς Πατέρα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ
