2 Coríntios 6

1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,

"At an acceptable time I listened to you.

In a day of salvation I helped you."✝6:2 Isaiah 49:8

Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. 3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed, 4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings, 6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love, 7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true, 9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed, 10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.

14 Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people."✝6:16 Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27 17 Therefore

"‘Come out from among them,

and be separate,’ says the Lord.

‘Touch no unclean thing.

I will receive you.✝6:17 Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41

18 I will be to you a Father.

You will be to me sons and daughters,’

says the Lord Almighty."✝6:18 2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8

1 Nā, tēnei mātou ōna hoa mahi te tohe atu nei i a koutou, kia kaua e kore hua te rironga mai o te aroha noa o te Atua i a koutou. 2 E mea ana hoki ia,

"Nō te wā manakohanga atu

i whakarongo ai ahau ki a koe,

āwhinatia ana hoki koe e ahau

i te rā o te whakaoranga."

Nanā, tēnei te wā manakohanga mai; nanā, tēnei te rā o te whakaoranga!

3 E kore hoki e hoatu e mātou tētahi take e hē ai, ahakoa i te aha, kei whakahēngia tā mātou mahi minita; 4 engari, i ngā mea katoa e whakakite ana i a mātou, he minita nā te Atua, i runga i te hua o te manawanui, i ngā tūkinotanga, i ngā aituā, i ngā rarunga, 5 i ngā whiunga, i ngā hereheretanga, i ngā ngangaretanga, i ngā māuiuitanga, i ngā mataaratanga, i ngā nohoanga pukutanga; 6 i runga i te kinokore, i te mātauranga, i te manawanui, i te ngākau ngāwari, i te Wairua Tapu, i te aroha tinihangakore, 7 i runga i te kupu o te pono, i te kaha o te Atua, i ngā mea whawhai o te tika ki matau, ki mauī, 8 i runga i te korōria, i te hōnorekore, i te kupu kino, i te kupu pai; me te mea he hunga tinihanga, ā, he hunga pono anō. 9 Me te mea kāhore e mōhiotia, otiia e mōhiotia nuitia ana; me te mea ka mate, heoi, tēnei anō mātou te ora nei; me te mea e pākia ana, heoi kāhore e whakamatea; 10 me te mea e pōuri ana, heoi, e hari tonu ana; me te mea e rawakore ana, heoi, e mea ana i te tokomaha kia whai taonga; me te mea kāhore ā mātou aha, otiia, kei a mātou ngā mea katoa.

11 Tuwhera tonu ō mātou māngai ki a koutou, e ngā Koriniti, kua nui tō mātou ngākau. 12 Ehara i te mea nō mātou te kūiti i a koutou, engari, nō ō koutou ngākau te kūiti. 13 Nā, hei utu e rite ana, he kupu tēnei nāku ki āku tamariki, kia whakanuia anō hoki koutou.

He Whakatūpato ki ngā Awe o te Hunga Whakapono kore

14 Kei iokatia kētia koutou ki te hunga whakapono kore. Nō hea hoki te whakahoatanga o te tika rāua ko te tutū? Nō hea hoki te huihuinga tahitanga o te mārama ki te pōuri? 15 Ko ēhea mea a te Karaiti i huihuia ki a Periara? Nā tēhea wāhi rānei i huanga ai te tangata whakapono ki te tangata whakapono kore? 16 Ā, kei hea he tatanga mō te whare tapu o te Atua ki ngā whakapakoko? He whare tapu hoki koutou nō te Atua ora; ko tā te Atua hoki tēnā i mea ai:

"Ka noho ahau i roto i a rātou,

ka hāereere ahau i roto i a rātou;

ā, ko ahau hei Atua mō rātou,

ko rātou hoki hei iwi māku."

17 Mō konei,

"Puta mai i roto i a rātou,

kia motu kē, e ai tā te Ariki.

Kaua hoki e pā ki te mea poke;

ā, ka riro mai koutou i ahau;

18 Ko ahau anō hoki hei Matua mō koutou,

ko koutou hoki hei tama hei tamāhine ki ahau,

e ai tā te Ariki Kaha Rawa."
