Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible YLT Young's Literal Translation
As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain .
And working together also we call upon ` you ' that ye receive not in vain the grace of God --
For He says: “ In the time of favor I heard you , and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold , now is the time of favor ; now is the day of salvation !
for He saith, ` In an acceptable time I did hear thee , and in a day of salvation I did help thee , lo, now ` is ' a well-accepted time; lo, now , a day of salvation ,' --
We put no obstacle in anyone’s way , so that no one can discredit our ministry.
in nothing giving any cause of offence , that the ministration may be not blamed,
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles , hardships , and calamities;
but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities , in distresses ,
in beatings , imprisonments, and riots; in labor , sleepless nights , and hunger;
in stripes , in imprisonments, in insurrections , in labours , in watchings, in fastings,
in purity , knowledge, patience , and kindness ; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love ;
in pureness , in knowledge, in long-suffering , in kindness , in the Holy Spirit , in love unfeigned,
in truthful speech and in the power of God ; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left ;
in the word of truth, in the power of God , through the armour of the righteousness , on the right and on the left ,
through glory and dishonor , slander and praise; viewed as imposters , yet genuine ;
through glory and dishonour , through evil report and good report, as leading astray , and true ;
as unknown, yet well-known ; dying, and yet we live on ; punished , yet not killed ;
as unknown, and recognized ; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened , and not put to death ;
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything .
as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things .
We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians . Our hearts are open wide.
Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians , our heart hath been enlarged!
It is not our affection , but yours , that is restrained.
ye are not straitened in us , and ye are straitened in your `own' bowels ,
As a fair exchange , I ask you as my children : Open wide your hearts also .
and ` as ' a recompense of the same kind , ( as to children I say `it',) be ye enlarged -- also ye!
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers . For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness ?
Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers , for what partaking `is there' to righteousness and lawlessness ?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God . As God has said : “ I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people .”
and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God , according as God said -- ` I will dwell in them , and will walk among ` them ' , and I will be their God, and they shall be My people ,
“Therefore come out from among them and be separate , says the Lord . Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you .”
wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them , and be separated , saith the Lord , and an unclean thing do not touch , and I -- I will receive you ,
And : “ I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. ”
and I will be to you for a Father , and ye -- ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. '
