\subsection{II Corinthians 6}
|
|
\VS{1} So working together we also call upon you not to receive the grace of God in
|
|
vain.
|
|
\VS{2} For he says:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
I have heard [of you] in [the] acceptable opportune-time\fnKairos{}\\
|
|
And in [the] day of salvation have I helped you.\\
|
|
Behold now [is] the acceptable opportune-time\fnKairos{},\\
|
|
Behold now [is the] day of salvation.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{3} --- no longer giving cause for offense in \negd{anything}, in
|
|
order that the service not be blamed,
|
|
\VS{4} but in everything commending
|
|
ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in distresses, in
|
|
calamities, in difficulties,
|
|
\VS{5} in blows, in prisons, in disturbances,
|
|
in labors, in wakefulness\footnote{or ``sleepless nights''}, in fastings,
|
|
\VS{6} in ignorance, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy
|
|
Spirit, in agape-love sincere,
|
|
\VS{7} in word of truth, in power of God,
|
|
through the weapons of justice on the right [hand] and the left,
|
|
\VS{8} through
|
|
glory and dishonor, through defamation and praise, as deceivers and true,
|
|
\VS{9} as being unknown and being known, as dying and behold we zoe-live\fnZoe{}, as
|
|
being chastened and not being killed,
|
|
\VS{10} as suffering pain but always
|
|
rejoicing, as poor but making many rich, as having nothing and possessing
|
|
everything.
|
|
|
|
\VS{11} Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide.
|
|
\VS{12} You are not constrained by us, but you are constrained by your guts.
|
|
\VS{13} So in the same exchange --- as to children I speak --- open wide to
|
|
us also.
|
|
\VS{14} Be not becoming unevenly yoked with the non-believing, for
|
|
what participation [is] with justice and lawlessness, or what fellowship [is] to
|
|
light with darkness?
|
|
\VS{15} And what agreement [is] of Christ with Belial, or
|
|
what portion [is] to belief with non-belief?
|
|
\VS{16} Or what unison [is] to [the] temple of God with idols?
|
|
For we are [a] zoe-living\fnZoe{} temple of God, just as God said that:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
I will dwell among them and will walk among ADD{them}\\
|
|
And I will be their God, and they will be my people. \\
|
|
\VS{17} Therefore come out from among them \\
|
|
And be separated, says the Lord, \\
|
|
And be touching\footnote{or ``grasping''} no unclean [thing]\\
|
|
And I will welcome you.\\
|
|
\VS{18} And I will be to you for [a] father \\
|
|
And you will be to me for sons and daughters \\
|
|
Says the Lord almighty.
|
|
\end{verse}
