2 Corinthians - douay rheims

Chapter 6

¹ And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain.
² For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
³ Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed:
⁴ But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses,
⁵ In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
⁶ In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned,
⁷ In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left;
⁸ By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet known;
⁹ As dying, and behold we live; as chastised, and not killed;
¹⁰ As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as needy, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
¹¹ Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
¹² You are not straitened in us, but in your own bowels you are straitened.
¹³ But having the same recompense, (I speak as to my children,) be you also enlarged.
¹⁴ Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?
¹⁵ And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?
¹⁶ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God saith: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
¹⁷ Wherefore, Go out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing:
¹⁸ And I will receive you; and I will be a Father to you; and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Chapter 6

¹ We then, as co-workers with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
² (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
³ Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
⁴ But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
⁵ In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
⁶ By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,
⁷ By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
⁸ By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
⁹ As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
¹⁰ As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
¹¹ O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.
¹² Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
¹³ Now for a recompense in the same (I speak as to my children,) be ye also enlarged.
¹⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
¹⁵ And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
¹⁶ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
¹⁷ Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you;
¹⁸ And I will be a Father to you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Chapter 6

¹ But [as] fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:
² (for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now [is the] well-accepted time; behold, now [the] day of salvation:)
³ giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
⁴ but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,
⁵ in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
⁶ in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
⁷ in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
⁸ through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;
⁹ as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
¹⁰ as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
¹¹ Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.
¹² Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;
¹³ but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let *your* heart also expand itself.
¹⁴ Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?
¹⁵ and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?
¹⁶ and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are [the] living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
¹⁷ Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and *I* will receive you;
¹⁸ and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.

² (for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation):
³ giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

Chapter 6

¹ We then, working together with God, make our request to you not to take the grace of God to no purpose.
² (For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):
³ Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work;
⁴ But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,
⁵ In blows, in prisons, in attacks, in hard work, in watchings, in going without food;
⁶ In a clean heart, in knowledge, in long waiting, in being kind, in the Holy Spirit, in true love,
⁷ In the true word, in the power of God; with the arms of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
⁸ By glory and by shame, by an evil name and a good name; as untrue, and still true;
⁹ Unnoted, but still kept fully in mind; as near to death, but still living; as undergoing punishment, but not put to death;
¹⁰ As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.
¹¹ Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide.
¹² It is not our feelings to you which are narrow, but yours to us.
¹³ Now to give me back payment of the same sort (I am talking as to my children), let your hearts be wide open to me.
¹⁴ Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?
¹⁵ And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?
¹⁶ And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
¹⁷ For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,
¹⁸ And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.
