哥林多后书 6
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
在各样事上表明自己是神的用人
6 我们与神同工的，也劝你们不可徒受他的恩典。 2 因为他说：“在悦纳的时候，我应允了你；在拯救的日子，我搭救了你。”看哪，现在正是悦纳的时候！现在正是拯救的日子！ 3 我们凡事都不叫人有妨碍，免得这职分被人毁谤； 4 反倒在各样的事上表明自己是神的用人，就如在许多的忍耐，患难，穷乏，困苦， 5 鞭打，监禁，扰乱，勤劳，警醒，不食， 6 廉洁，知识，恒忍，恩慈，圣灵的感化，无伪的爱心， 7 真实的道理，神的大能；仁义的兵器在左在右， 8 荣耀羞辱，恶名美名；似乎是诱惑人的，却是诚实的； 9 似乎不为人所知，却是人所共知的；似乎要死，却是活着的；似乎受责罚，却是不致丧命的； 10 似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的；似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的；似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的。
11 哥林多人哪，我们向你们口是张开的，心是宽宏的。 12 你们狭窄，原不在乎我们，是在乎自己的心肠狭窄。 13 你们也要照样用宽宏的心报答我。我这话正像对自己的孩子说的。
不可与恶相交
14 你们和不信的原不相配，不要同负一轭。义和不义有什么相交呢？光明和黑暗有什么相通呢？ 15 基督和彼列[a]有什么相和呢？信主的和不信主的有什么相干呢？ 16 神的殿和偶像有什么相同呢？因为我们是永生神的殿，就如神曾说：“我要在他们中间居住，在他们中间来往；我要做他们的神，他们要做我的子民。” 17 又说：“你们务要从他们中间出来，与他们分别，不要沾不洁净的物，我就收纳你们。” 18 “我要做你们的父，你们要做我的儿女。”这是全能的主说的。

哥林多后书 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
6 身为上帝的同工，我们劝你们不要辜负祂的恩典。 2 因为祂说：
“在悦纳的时候，
我应允了你；
在拯救的日子，
我帮助了你。”
看啊，现在正是悦纳的时候！看啊，现在正是拯救的日子！
上帝仆人的品格
3 为了避免有人毁谤我们的职分，我们凡事尽量不妨碍别人， 4 反倒在任何事上都显明自己是上帝的仆人。不论遭遇什么患难、艰苦、贫穷、 5 鞭打、囚禁、暴乱、辛劳、无眠或饥饿，我们都坚忍到底， 6 靠着纯洁、知识、忍耐、仁慈、圣灵的感动、无伪的爱心、 7 真理之道、上帝的大能、左右手中的公义兵器， 8 无论是得荣耀还是受羞辱，遭毁谤还是得称赞，都显明自己是上帝的仆人。我们被视为骗子，却是诚实无伪； 9 似乎默默无闻，却是家喻户晓；似乎快死了，看啊！我们却仍然活着；受严刑拷打，却没有丧命； 10 似乎郁郁寡欢，却常常喜乐；似乎一贫如洗，却使多人富足；似乎一无所有，却样样都有！
11 哥林多人啊！我们对你们推心置腹，开诚布公， 12 毫无保留，只是你们自己心胸太窄。 13 现在请你们也向我们敞开心怀。我这样说，是把你们当成自己的儿女。
永活上帝的殿
14 不要和非信徒同负一轭，因为公义和不法怎能合作呢？光明和黑暗怎能共存呢？ 15 基督与魔鬼[a]怎能相容呢？信徒与非信徒有什么相干呢？ 16 上帝的殿与偶像怎能相提并论呢？因为我们就是永活上帝的殿，正如上帝说：
“我要住在他们中间，
在他们当中往来；
我要做他们的上帝，
他们要做我的子民。”
17 又说：
“所以，你们要从他们中间出来，
离开他们，不要沾染污秽之物，
我就接纳你们。
18 我要做你们的父亲，
你们要做我的儿女。
这是全能的主说的。”

2 Corinthians 6
King James Version
6 We then, as workers together 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 succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving no offence 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 labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, 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 alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto 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 will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6
New King James Version
Marks of the Ministry
6 We then, as (A)workers together with Him also (B)plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says:
(C)“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.
3 (D)We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 4 But in all things we commend ourselves (E)as ministers of God: in much [a]patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 (F)in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by [b]sincere love, 7 (G)by the word of truth, by (H)the power of God, by (I)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 (J)yet well known; (K)as dying, and behold we live; (L)as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many (M)rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Be Holy
11 O Corinthians! [c]We have spoken openly to you, (N)our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but (O)you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (P)(I speak as to children), you also be open.
14 (Q)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For (R)what [d]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [e]communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (S)you[f] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
(T)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
(U)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I (V)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My (W)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

New English Translation
God’s Suffering Servants
6 Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.[a] 2 For he says, “I heard you at the acceptable time, and in the day of salvation I helped you.”[b] Look, now is the acceptable time; look, now is the day of salvation! 3 We do not give anyone[c] an occasion for taking an offense in anything,[d] so that no fault may be found with our ministry. 4 But as God’s servants,[e] we have commended ourselves in every way,[f] with great endurance, in persecutions,[g] in difficulties, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots,[h] in troubles,[i] in sleepless nights, in hunger, 6 by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit,[j] by genuine[k] love, 7 by truthful[l] teaching,[m] by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,[n] 8 through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors,[o] and yet true; 9 as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet—see!—we continue to live; as those who are scourged[p] and yet not executed; 10 as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken freely to you,[q] Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide to you. 12 Our affection for you is not restricted,[r] but you are restricted in your affections for us. 13 Now as a fair exchange—I speak as to my[s] children—open wide your hearts to us[t] also.
Unequal Partners
14 Do not become partners[u] with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15 And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar?[v] Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? 16 And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are[w] the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them[x] and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”[y] 17 Therefore “come out from their midst, and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch no unclean thing,[z] and I will welcome[aa] you,[ab] 18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,”[ac] says the All-Powerful Lord.[ad]
Footnotes
- 2 Corinthians 6:1 tn Or “receive the grace of God uselessly.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:2 sn A quotation from Isa 49:8.
- 2 Corinthians 6:3 tn The word “anyone” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context.
- 2 Corinthians 6:3 tn Other interpretations of the first part of 2 Cor 6:3 are possible. The phrase could also mean, “not putting an obstacle in the way of anyone” (L&N 22.14), or “giving no one in anything a cause to sin” (L&N 88.307).
- 2 Corinthians 6:4 tn Or “ministers.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:4 tn Or “we have commended ourselves by all things.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:4 tn Or “in trouble and suffering.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:5 tn Or “rebellions” (uprisings in open defiance of civil authority).
- 2 Corinthians 6:5 tn Usually κόποις (kopois) has been translated as “labors” or “hard work,” but see Matt 26:10 where it means “trouble”; “distress” (L&N 22.7). In this context with so many other terms denoting suffering and difficulty, such a meaning is preferable.
- 2 Corinthians 6:6 tn Or “by holiness of spirit.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:6 tn Or “sincere.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:7 tn Grk “by the word of truth”; understanding ἀληθείας (alētheias) as an attributive genitive (“truthful word”).
- 2 Corinthians 6:7 tn Or “speech.” In this context it is more likely that λόγος (logos) refers to Paul’s message (thus “teaching”) than to his speech in general.
- 2 Corinthians 6:7 tn The phrase “for the right hand and for the left” possibly refers to a combination of an offensive weapon (a sword for the right hand) and a defensive weapon (a shield for the left).
- 2 Corinthians 6:8 tn Or “regarded as deceivers.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:9 tn Grk “disciplined,” but in this context probably a reference to scourging prior to execution (yet the execution is not carried out).
- 2 Corinthians 6:11 tn Grk “our mouth has been open to you,” an idiom for openness in communication.
- 2 Corinthians 6:12 tn Grk “You are not restricted by us.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:13 tn The word “my” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
- 2 Corinthians 6:13 tn The words “to us” are not in the Greek text but are implied.
- 2 Corinthians 6:14 tn Or “Do not be mismatched.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:15 sn The Greek term Βελιάρ (Beliar) is a spelling variant for Βελιάλ (Belial, see Judg 20:13 LXX). It occurs only here in the NT. Beliar is a reference to Satan.
- 2 Corinthians 6:16 tc Most witnesses, including some significant ones (P46 א2 C D2 F G Ψ 0209 M lat sy Tert), read ὑμεῖς…ἐστε (humeis…este, “you are”) instead of ἡμεῖς…ἐσμεν (hēmeis…esmen, “we are”) here, but several other early and significant mss (א* B D* L P 0243 6 33 81 326 365 1175 1739 1881 2464 co Cl Or) have ἡμεῖς…ἐσμεν. The external evidence is somewhat in favor of the first person pronoun and verb; the internal evidence weighs in even stronger. In light of the parallel in 1 Cor 3:16, where Paul uses ἐστε (“you are the temple of God”), as well as the surrounding context here in which the second person verb or pronoun is used in vv. 14, 17, and 18, the second person reading seems obviously motivated. The first person reading can explain the rise of the other reading, but the reverse is not as easily done. Consequently, the first person reading of ἡμεῖς…ἐσμεν has all the credentials of authenticity.
- 2 Corinthians 6:16 tn Or “live among them,” “live with them.” sn I will live in them. The OT text that lies behind this passage (Lev 26:11-12) speaks of God dwelling in the midst of his people. The Greek preposition en in the phrase en autois (“in them”) can also have that meaning (“among” or “with”). However, Paul appears to be extending the imagery here to involve God (as the Spirit) dwelling in his people, since he calls believers “the temple of the living God” in the previous clause, imagery he uses elsewhere in his writings (1 Cor 3:16; Eph 2:21-22).
- 2 Corinthians 6:16 sn A quotation from Lev 26:12; also similar to Jer 32:38; Ezek 37:27.
- 2 Corinthians 6:17 sn A quotation from Isa 52:11.
- 2 Corinthians 6:17 tn Or “will receive.”
- 2 Corinthians 6:17 sn A paraphrased quotation from Ezek 20:41.
- 2 Corinthians 6:18 sn A paraphrased quotation from 2 Sam 7:14 and Isa 43:6.
- 2 Corinthians 6:18 tn Traditionally, “the Lord Almighty.” BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…κύριος π. (oft. LXX) 2 Cor 6:18.”
