2 Corinthians 6 read aloud in Koine Greek, with Chinese and English subtitles and verse-level navigation. Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God
6:1 Συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς我們與上帝同工的,也勸你們不可徒受他的恩典。Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain.
6:2 λέγει γάρ, καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι· ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας因為他說:「在悅納的時候,我應允了你;在拯救的日子,我搭救了你。」看哪,現在正是悅納的時候!現在正是拯救的日子;For he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
6:3 μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία,我們凡事都不叫人有妨礙,免得這職分被人毀謗;We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,
6:4 ἀλλ’ ἐν παντὶ συνίσταντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς θεοῦ διάκονοι, ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις,反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是上帝的用人,就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦、but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
6:5 ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις,鞭打、監禁、擾亂、勤勞、警醒、不食、in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
6:6 ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ,廉潔、知識、恆忍、恩慈、聖靈的感化、無偽的愛心、in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,
6:7 ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ· διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν,真實的道理、上帝的大能;仁義的兵器在左在右;in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
6:8 διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας· ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς,榮耀、羞辱,惡名、美名;似乎是誘惑人的,卻是誠實的;by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true,
6:9 ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι, ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν, ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι,似乎不為人所知,卻是人所共知的;似乎要死,卻是活着的;似乎受責罰,卻是不致喪命的;as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed,
6:10 ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες.似乎憂愁,卻是常常快樂的;似乎貧窮,卻是叫許多人富足的;似乎一無所有,卻是樣樣都有的。as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
6:11 Τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι, ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται·哥林多人哪,我們向你們,口是張開的,心是寬宏的。Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
6:12 οὐ στενοχωρεῖσθε ἐν ἡμῖν, στενοχωρεῖσθε δὲ ἐν τοῖς σπλάγχνοις ὑμῶν·你們狹窄,原不在乎我們,是在乎自己的心腸狹窄。You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
6:13 τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν, ὡς τέκνοις λέγω, πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς.你們也要照樣用寬宏的心報答我。我這話正像對自己的孩子說的。Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
6:14 Μὴ γίνεσθε ἑτεροζυγοῦντες ἀπίστοις· τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ; ἢ τίς κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;你們和不信的原不相配,不要同負一軛。義和不義有甚麼相交呢?光明和黑暗有甚麼相通呢?Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
6:15 τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστοῦ πρὸς Βελιάρ, ἢ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου;基督和彼列 有甚麼相和呢?信主的和不信主的有甚麼相干呢?What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever?
6:16 τίς δὲ συνκατάθεσις ναῷ θεοῦ μετὰ εἰδώλων; ἡμεῖς γὰρ ναὸς θεοῦ ἐσμεν ζῶντος· καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐνπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν θεός, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μου λαός.上帝的殿和偶像有甚麼相同呢?因為我們是永生上帝的殿,就如上帝曾說: 我要在他們中間居住, 在他們中間來往; 我要作他們的上帝; 他們要作我的子民。What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”
6:17 Διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε· κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς,又說:你們務要從他們中間出來, 與他們分別; 不要沾不潔淨的物,我就收納你們。Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.
6:18 καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς πατέρα, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ.我要作你們的父; 你們要作我的兒女。 這是全能的主說的。I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
