II Corinthians 6

فَإِذْ نَحْنُ عَامِلُونَ مَعَهُ نَطْلُبُ أَنْ لاَ تَقْبَلُوا نِعْمَةَ اللهِ بَاطِلاً.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

لأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ:«فِي وَقْتٍ مَقْبُول سَمِعْتُكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ خَلاَصٍ أَعَنْتُكَ». هُوَذَا الآنَ وَقْتٌ مَقْبُولٌ. هُوَذَا الآنَ يَوْمُ خَلاَصٍ.

(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.)

وَلَسْنَا نَجْعَلُ عَثْرَةً فِي شَيْءٍ لِئَلاَّ تُلاَمَ الْخِدْمَةُ.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

بَلْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ نُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا كَخُدَّامِ اللهِ:فِي صَبْرٍ كَثِيرٍ،فِي شَدَائِدَ،فِي ضَرُورَاتٍ،فِي ضِيقَاتٍ،

But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

فِي ضَرَبَاتٍ، فِي سُجُونٍ، فِي اضْطِرَابَاتٍ، فِي أَتْعَابٍ، فِي أَسْهَارٍ، فِي أَصْوَامٍ،

In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

فِي طَهَارَةٍ، فِي عِلْمٍ، فِي أَنَاةٍ، فِي لُطْفٍ، فِي الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، فِي مَحَبَّةٍ بِلاَ رِيَاءٍ،

By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

فِي كَلاَمِ الْحَقِّ، فِي قُوَّةِ اللهِ بِسِلاَحِ الْبِرِّ لِلْيَمِينِ وَلِلْيَسَارِ.

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

بِمَجْدٍ وَهَوَانٍ، بِصِيتٍ رَدِيءٍ وَصِيتٍ حَسَنٍ. كَمُضِلِّينَ وَنَحْنُ صَادِقُونَ،

By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

كَمَجْهُولِينَ وَنَحْنُ مَعْرُوفُونَ، كَمَائِتِينَ وَهَا نَحْنُ نَحْيَا، كَمُؤَدَّبِينَ وَنَحْنُ غَيْرُ مَقْتُولِينَ،

As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

كَحَزَانَى وَنَحْنُ دَائِمًا فَرِحُونَ، كَفُقَرَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُغْنِي كَثِيرِينَ، كَأَنْ لاَ شَيْءَ لَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَمْلِكُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

فَمُنَا مَفْتُوحٌ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْكُورِنْثِيُّونَ. قَلْبُنَا مُتَّسِعٌ.

O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

لَسْتُمْ مُتَضَيِّقِينَ فِينَا بَلْ مُتَضَيِّقِينَ فِي أَحْشَائِكُمْ.

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

فَجَزَاءً لِذلِكَ أَقُولُ كَمَا لأَوْلاَدِي: كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مُتَّسِعِينَ!

Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.

لاَ تَكُونُوا تَحْتَ نِيرٍ مَعَ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لأَنَّهُ أَيَّةُ خِلْطَةٍ لِلْبِرِّ وَالإِثْمِ؟ وَأَيَّةُ شَرِكَةٍ لِلنُّورِ مَعَ الظُّلْمَةِ؟

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

وَأَيُّ اتِّفَاق لِلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ بَلِيعَالَ؟ وَأَيُّ نَصِيبٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مَعَ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ؟

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

وَأَيَّةُ مُوَافَقَةٍ لِهَيْكَلِ اللهِ مَعَ الأَوْثَانِ؟ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ:«إِنِّي سَأَسْكُنُ فِيهِمْ وَأَسِيرُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلهًا، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.

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.

لِذلِكَ اخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ وَاعْتَزِلُوا، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. وَلاَ تَمَسُّوا نَجِسًا فَأَقْبَلَكُمْ،

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

وَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ أَبًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ».

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
