哥林多后书 6
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
6 我们做为神的[a]同工，也恳求你们：不可白受神的恩典。 2 因为他说：
“在悦纳的时候，我垂听了你；
在拯救的日子，我帮助了你。”[b]
看哪！现在就是悦纳的时候；看哪！现在就是拯救的日子。
服事的特性
3 我们不在任何事上给任何人跌倒的借口，免得这服事的工作被人挑剔； 4 反而在一切事上都证明自己是神的仆人[c]：
在极大的忍耐中，在各种患难、艰难、困苦中，
5 在鞭打、监禁、混乱中，
在劳苦、失眠、饥饿中，
6 在纯洁、知识、耐心、仁慈中，
藉着圣灵，在不虚假的爱中，
7 在真理的话语中，在神的大能中，
藉着右手左手的公义兵器，
8 藉着荣耀和羞辱，藉着坏名声和好名声；
像是迷惑人的，却是真诚的；
9 像是人所不知的，却是人所共知的；
像是快要死的，可是看哪，我们是活着的；
像是受惩罚的，却是不被治死；
10 像是忧伤的，却总是快乐；
像是贫穷的，却使许多人富足；
像是一无所有，却是样样都有。
11 哥林多人哪，我们对你们，口是坦率的，心是敞开的。 12 你们并不是被我们压制了，而是被自己的情感压制了。 13 所以你们要同样回报我们——我如同对儿女说——你们也当敞开！
分别为圣
14 你们不可与不信的人同负一轭。公义和罪恶[d]到底有什么相通呢？光明与黑暗有什么相合呢？ 15 基督与彼列[e]有什么相融呢？信的与不信的有什么关系呢？ 16 神的圣所与偶像有什么相同呢？要知道，我们[f]是永生神的圣所，正如神所说：
“我将要在他们中间居住，在他们中间往来；
我将要做他们的神，他们将要做我的子民。”[g]
17 “所以主说：
你们要从他们中间出来，
要被分别出来；
不要碰不洁净的东西，
我就接纳你们”[h]，
18 “我将要做你们的父亲，
你们将要做我的儿女。
这是主、全能者说的。”[i]

2 Corinthians 6
Common English Bible
6 1 Since we work together with him, we are also begging you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 He says, I listened to you at the right time, and I helped you on the day of salvation.[a] Look, now is the right time! Look, now is the day of salvation!
3 We don’t give anyone any reason to be offended about anything so that our ministry won’t be criticized. 4 Instead, we commend ourselves as ministers of God in every way. We did this with our great endurance through problems, disasters, and stressful situations. 5 We went through beatings, imprisonments, and riots. We experienced hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger. 6 We displayed purity, knowledge, patience, and generosity. We served with the Holy Spirit, genuine love, 7 telling the truth, and God’s power. We carried the weapons of righteousness in our right hand and our left hand. 8 We were treated with honor and dishonor and with verbal abuse and good evaluation. We were seen as both fake and real, 9 as unknown and well known, as dying—and look, we are alive! We were seen as punished but not killed, 10 as going through pain but always happy, as poor but making many rich, and as having nothing but owning everything.
Call to relationship and holiness
11 Corinthians, we have spoken openly to you, and our hearts are wide open. 12 There are no limits to the affection that we feel for you. You are the ones who placed boundaries on your affection for us. 13 But as a fair trade—I’m talking to you like you are children—open your hearts wide too.
14 Don’t be tied up as equal partners with people who don’t believe. What does righteousness share with that which is outside the Law? What relationship does light have with darkness? 15 What harmony does Christ have with Satan?[b] What does a believer have in common with someone who doesn’t believe? 16 What agreement can there be between God’s temple and idols? Because we are the temple of the living God. Just as God said, I live with them, and I will move among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.[c] 17 Therefore, come out from among them and be separated, says the Lord. Don’t touch what is unclean. Then I will welcome you.[d] 18 I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.[e]
