2 Corinthians

Chapter 6

Phonetic (Greek): Synergoyntes de kai parakaloymen me eis kenon ten charin toy theoy dexasthai hymas·

Edified Edition (EDE)We then, as workers together with Him, also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς·

Phonetic (Greek): legei gar· Kairῷ dektῷ epekousa sou kai en hemerᾳ soterias eboethesa soi· idoy nyn kairos eyprosdektos, idoy nyn hemera soterias·

Edified Edition (EDE)For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

λέγει γάρ· Καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι· ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας·

Phonetic (Greek): medemian en medeni didontes proskopen, hina me momethῇ he diakonia,

Edified Edition (EDE)We give no offence in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία,

Phonetic (Greek): allʼ en panti ⸀synistanontes heautoys hos theoy diakonoi· en hypomonῇ pollῇ, en thlipsesin, en anankais, en stenochoriais,

Edified Edition (EDE)But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

ἀλλʼ ἐν παντὶ ⸀συνιστάνοντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς θεοῦ διάκονοι· ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις,

Phonetic (Greek): en plegais, en phylakais, en akatastasiais, en kopois, en agrypniais, en nesteiais,

Edified Edition (EDE)in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in fastings;

ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις,

Phonetic (Greek): en hagnoteti, en gnosei, en makrothymiᾳ, en chrestoteti, en pneymati hagiῳ, en agapῃ anypokritῳ,

Edified Edition (EDE)by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,

ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ,

Phonetic (Greek): en logῳ aletheias, en dynamei theoy· dia ton hoplon tes dikaiosynes ton dexion kai aristeron,

Edified Edition (EDE)by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ· διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν,

Phonetic (Greek): dia doxes kai atimias, dia dysphemias kai eyphemias· hos planoi kai aletheis,

Edified Edition (EDE)by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας· ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς,

Phonetic (Greek): hos agnooymenoi kai epiginoskomenoi, hos apothnῄskontes kai idoy zomen, hos paideuomenoi kai me thanatoymenoi,

Edified Edition (EDE)as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed;

ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι, ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν, ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι,

Phonetic (Greek): hos lypoymenoi aei de chairontes, hos ptochoi polloys de ploutizontes, hos meden echontes kai panta katechontes.

Edified Edition (EDE)as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες.

Phonetic (Greek): To stoma hemon aneῳgen pros hymas, Korinthioi, he kardia hemon peplatyntai·

Edified Edition (EDE)O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

Τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι, ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται·

Phonetic (Greek): oy stenochoreisthe en hemin, stenochoreisthe de en tois splanchnois hymon·

Edified Edition (EDE)You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

οὐ στενοχωρεῖσθε ἐν ἡμῖν, στενοχωρεῖσθε δὲ ἐν τοῖς σπλάγχνοις ὑμῶν·

Phonetic (Greek): ten de ayten antimisthian, hos teknois lego, platynthete kai hymeis.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν, ὡς τέκνοις λέγω, πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς.

Phonetic (Greek): Me ginesthe heterozygoyntes apistois· tis gar metoche dikaiosynῃ kai anomiᾳ, ⸂e tis⸃ koinonia photi pros skotos;

Edified Edition (EDE)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

Μὴ γίνεσθε ἑτεροζυγοῦντες ἀπίστοις· τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ, ⸂ἢ τίς⸃ κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;

Phonetic (Greek): tis de symphonesis ⸀Christoy pros Beliar, e tis meris pistῷ meta apistou;

Edified Edition (EDE)And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

τίς δὲ συμφώνησις ⸀Χριστοῦ πρὸς Βελιάρ, ἢ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου;

Phonetic (Greek): tis de synkatathesis naῷ theoy meta eidolon; ⸂hemeis gar naos theoy esmen⸃ zontos· kathos eipen ho theos hoti Ἐnoikeso en aytois kai emperipateso, kai esomai ayton theos, kai aytoi esontai ⸀mou laos.

Edified Edition (EDE)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 among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."

τίς δὲ συγκατάθεσις ναῷ θεοῦ μετὰ εἰδώλων; ⸂ἡμεῖς γὰρ ναὸς θεοῦ ἐσμεν⸃ ζῶντος· καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι Ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν θεός, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί ⸀μου λαός.

Phonetic (Greek): dio exelthate ek mesou ayton, kai aphoristhete, legei kyrios, kai akathartou me haptesthe· kago eisdexomai hymas·

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you."

διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε· κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς·

Phonetic (Greek): kai esomai hymin eis patera, kai hymeis esesthe moi eis yhioys kai thygateras, legei kyrios pantokrator.

Edified Edition (EDE)"I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."

καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς πατέρα, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
