Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
1Adjuvantes autem exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis.
2For 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!
2Ait enim: Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis.
3We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.
3Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum:
4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;
4sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in tribulationibus, in necessitatibus, in angustiis,
5in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;
5in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis,
6in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
6in castitate, in scientia, in longanimitate, in suavitate, in Spiritu Sancto, in caritate non ficta,
7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
7in verbo veritatis, in virtute Dei, per arma justitiæ a dextris et a sinistris,
8through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
8per gloriam, et ignobilitatem, per infamiam, et bonam famam: ut seductores, et veraces, sicut qui ignoti, et cogniti:
9as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;
9quasi morientes, et ecce vivimus: ut castigati, et non mortificati:
10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
10quasi tristes, semper autem gaudentes: sicut egentes, multos autem locupletantes: tamquam nihil habentes, et omnia possidentes.
11We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.
11Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corinthii; cor nostrum dilatatum est.
12It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained.
12Non angustiamini in nobis: angustiamini autem in visceribus vestris:
13As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.
13eamdem autem habentes remunerationem, tamquam filiis dico, dilatamini et vos.
14Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
14Nolite jugum ducere cum infidelibus. Quæ enim participatio justitiæ cum iniquitate? aut quæ societas luci ad tenebras?
15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
15quæ autem conventio Christi ad Belial? aut quæ pars fideli cum infideli?
16What 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.”
16qui autem consensus templo Dei cum idolis? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus: [Quoniam inhabitabo in illis, et inambulabo inter eos, et ero illorum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi populus.
17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
17Propter quod exite de medio eorum, et separamini, dicit Dominus, et immundum ne tetigeritis:
18And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
18et ego recipiam vos: et ero vobis in patrem, et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias, dicit Dominus omnipotens.]
