2 Corinthians 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don't squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us.

2 God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help.

3 Don't put it off; don't frustrate God's work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything we're doing.

4 Our work as God's servants gets validated - or not - in the details. People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly . . . in hard times, tough times, bad times;

5 when we're beaten up, jailed, and mobbed; working hard, working late, working without eating;

6 with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness, and honest love;

7 when we're telling the truth, and when God's showing his power; when we're doing our best setting things right;

8 when we're praised, and when we're blamed; slandered, and honored; true to our word, though distrusted;

9 ignored by the world, but recognized by God; terrifically alive, though rumored to be dead; beaten within an inch of our lives, but refusing to die;

10 immersed in tears, yet always filled with deep joy; living on handouts, yet enriching many; having nothing, having it all.

11 Dear, dear Corinthians, I can't tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life.

12 We didn't fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren't small, but you're living them in a small way.

13 I'm speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!

14 Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark?

15 Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands?

16 Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God's holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives. God himself put it this way: "I'll live in them, move into them; I'll be their God and they'll be my people.

17 So leave the corruption and compromise; leave it for good," says God. "Don't link up with those who will pollute you. I want you all for myself.

18 I'll be a Father to you; you'll be sons and daughters to me."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 adiuvantes autem et exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis

2 ait enim tempore accepto exaudivi te et in die salutis adiuvavi te ecce nunc tempus acceptabile ecce nunc dies salutis

3 nemini dantes ullam offensionem ut non vituperetur ministerium

4 sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmet ipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia in tribulationibus in necessitatibus in angustiis

5 in plagis in carceribus in seditionibus in laboribus in vigiliis in ieiuniis

6 in castitate in scientia in longanimitate in suavitate in Spiritu Sancto in caritate non ficta

7 in verbo veritatis in virtute Dei per arma iustitiae a dextris et sinistris

8 per gloriam et ignobilitatem per infamiam et bonam famam ut seductores et veraces sicut qui ignoti et cogniti

9 quasi morientes et ecce vivimus ut castigati et non mortificati

10 quasi tristes semper autem gaudentes sicut egentes multos autem locupletantes tamquam nihil habentes et omnia possidentes

11 os nostrum patet ad vos o Corinthii cor nostrum dilatatum est

12 non angustiamini in nobis angustiamini autem in visceribus vestris

13 eandem autem habentes remunerationem tamquam filiis dico dilatamini et vos

14 nolite iugum ducere cum infidelibus quae enim participatio iustitiae cum iniquitate aut quae societas luci ad tenebras

15 quae autem conventio Christi ad Belial aut quae pars fideli cum infidele

16 qui autem consensus templo Dei cum idolis vos enim estis templum Dei vivi sicut dicit Deus quoniam inhabitabo in illis et inambulabo et ero illorum Deus et ipsi erunt mihi populus

17 propter quod exite de medio eorum et separamini dicit Dominus et inmundum ne tetigeritis

18 et ego recipiam vos et ero vobis in patrem et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias dicit Dominus omnipotens
