6 As we work together with him, we also urge you not to receive the Chen v’Chesed Hashem in vain. [2C 5:20]

² For he says "In a time acceptable I heard you and in a day of salvation I helped you" [YESHAYAH 49:8]. Hinei, now is the acceptable time; now is the Yom Yeshu’ah, [Ps 69:13; Isa 55:6; Lk.4:19-21]

³ Not giving in anything a cause for michshol, lest the Messianic Avodas Kodesh (holy worship, service) be blamed;

⁴ But in everything presenting ourselves [2C 4:2] as mesharetim of Hashem in much savlanut (patience), in tzoros, in hardships, in distresses,

⁵ In beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in tzomot;

⁶ In purity, in da’as, in longsuffering, in chesed, in the Ruach Hakodesh, in ahavah amittit,

⁷ In the dvar HaEmes, in the gevurat Hashem, through the weapons of Tzedek of the right hand and of the left.

⁸ Through honor and dishonor, through ill repute and good repute; as "deceivers" and yet true,

⁹ As being unknown and yet being well known, as dying and hinei, we live! As given the mishpat mavet and yet not penalized with death;

¹⁰ As having agmat nefesh but always having simcha, as poor but enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing everything.

¹¹ We have spoken freely with you Corinthians, our levavot has been enlarged.

¹² There is no penury in our affections, only in yours.

¹³ Now (I speak as to yeladim) make a fair exchange and open wide your levavot [1C 4:14].

¹⁴ Do not become unequally yoked with koferim (unbelievers) [Ep 5:7,11] for what shuttafut (partnership) has Tzedek with Lawlessness? Or where is the Brit (Covenant) between Ohr (light) and Choshech (darkness)? [BERESHIS 24:3; DEVARIM 22:10]

¹⁵ And what harmony does Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach have with B’liya’al? Or what chelek (allotment, inheritance) has a ma’amin with an Apikoros?

¹⁶ And what agreement has the Heikhal of Hashem with elilim? For we are a Heikhal of the Elohim Chayyim [1C 3:16; 6:19] as G-d said, "V’HITHALLACHTI B’TOCHCHEM ("And I will walk in the midst of you" [VAYIKRA 26:12] I WILL BE MISHKANI ALEHEM ("dwelling place of me with them" [YECHEZKEL 37:27]) V’HAYU LI L’AM VAANI EHEYEH LAHEM LELOHIM [YIRMEYAH 32:38] ("And they will be to me as people and I will be to them as G-d." [YIRMEYAH 32:38]

¹⁷ Therefore, SURU (Depart!), come out from the midst of them and be separated, says Adoneinu, and a TAMEH AL TIGAU "unclean thing do not touch;" [YESHAYAH 52:11] ERTZEH ETCHEM "and I will receive you”, [YECHEZKEL 20:34,41; Rv 18:4]

¹⁸ And I will be to you an AV and you will be to me BANIM and BANOT ("my daughters" [SHMUEL BAIS 7:8,14; YESHAYAH 43:6; YIRMEYAH 31:9] says Adonoi Tzva’ot. [SHEMOT 4:22; DIVREY HAYAMIM ALEF 17:13; AMOS 3:13; 4:13 TARGUM HASHIVIM Rv 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 21:22]
