PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 συνεργουντες δε και παρακαλουμεν μη εις κενον την χαριν του θεου δεξασθαι υμας—
1 Συνεργοῦντες δὲ καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν μὴ εἰς κενὸν τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ δέξασθαι ὑμᾶς —
2 λεγει γαρ· καιρω δεκτω επηκουσα σου και εν ημερα σωτηριας εβοηθησα σοι· ιδου νυν καιρος ευπροσδεκτος, ιδου νυν ημερα σωτηριας—
2 λέγει γάρ· καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι· ἰδοὺ νῦν καιρὸς εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἰδοὺ νῦν ἡμέρα σωτηρίας —
3 μηδεμιαν εν μηδενι διδοντες προσκοπην, ινα μη μωμηθη η διακονια,
3 μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία,
4 αλλ εν παντι συνιστωντες εαυτους ως θεου διακονοι, εν υπομονη πολλη, εν θλιψεσιν, εν αναγκαις, εν στενοχωριαις,
4 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ συνιστῶντες ἑαυτοὺς ὡς Θεοῦ διάκονοι, ἐν ὑπομονῇ πολλῇ, ἐν θλίψεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν στενοχωρίαις,
5 εν πληγαις, εν φυλακαις, εν ακαταστασιαις, εν κοποις, εν αγρυπνιαις, εν νηστειαις,
5 ἐν πληγαῖς, ἐν φυλακαῖς, ἐν ἀκαταστασίαις, ἐν κόποις, ἐν ἀγρυπνίαις, ἐν νηστείαις,
6 εν αγνοτητι, εν γνωσει, εν μακροθυμια, εν χρηστοτητι, εν πνευματι αγιω, εν αγαπη ανυποκριτω,
6 ἐν ἁγνότητι, ἐν γνώσει, ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, ἐν χρηστότητι, ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ,
7 εν λογω αληθειας, εν δυναμει θεου, δια των οπλων της δικαιοσυνης των δεξιων και αριστερων,
7 ἐν λόγῳ ἀληθείας, ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ, διὰ τῶν ὅπλων τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν,
8 δια δοξης και ατιμιας, δια δυσφημιας και ευφημιας, ως πλανοι και αληθεις,
8 διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀτιμίας, διὰ δυσφημίας καὶ εὐφημίας, ὡς πλάνοι καὶ ἀληθεῖς,
9 ως αγνοουμενοι και επιγινωσκομενοι, ως αποθνησκοντες και ιδου ζωμεν, ως παιδευομενοι και μη θανατουμενοι,
9 ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι, ὡς ἀποθνήσκοντες καὶ ἰδοὺ ζῶμεν, ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι,
10 ως λυπουμενοι αει δε χαιροντες, ως πτωχοι πολλους δε πλουτιζοντες, ως μηδεν εχοντες και παντα κατεχοντες.
10 ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες.
11 το στομα ημων ανεωγεν προς υμας, κορινθιοι, η καρδια ημων πεπλατυνται·
11 Τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγε πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι, ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν πεπλάτυνται·
12 ου στενοχωρεισθε εν ημιν, στενοχωρεισθε δε εν τοις σπλαγχνοις υμων·
12 οὐ στενοχωρεῖσθε ἐν ἡμῖν, στενοχωρεῖσθε δὲ ἐν τοῖς σπλάγχνοις ὑμῶν·
13 την δε αυτην αντιμισθιαν, ως τεκνοις λεγω, πλατυνθητε και υμεις.
13 τὴν δὲ αὐτὴν ἀντιμισθίαν, ὡς τέκνοις λέγω, πλατύνθητε καὶ ὑμεῖς.
14 μη γινεσθε ετεροζυγουντες απιστοις· τις γαρ μετοχη δικαιοσυνη και ανομια; τις δε κοινωνια φωτι προς σκοτος;
14 Μὴ γίνεσθε ἑτεροζυγοῦντες ἀπίστοις· τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ; τίς δὲ κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;
15 τις δε συμφωνησις χριστω προς βελιαλ; η τις μερις πιστω μετα απιστου;
15 τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστῷ πρὸς Βελίαλ; ἢ τίς μερὶς πιστῷ μετὰ ἀπίστου;
16 τις δε συγκαταθεσις ναω θεου μετα ειδωλων; υμεις γαρ ναος θεου εστε ζωντος, καθως ειπεν ο θεος οτι ενοικησω εν αυτοις και εμπεριπατησω, και εσομαι αυτων θεος, και αυτοι εσονται μοι λαος.
16 τίς δὲ συγκατάθεσις ναῷ Θεοῦ μετὰ εἰδώλων; ὑμεῖς γὰρ ναὸς Θεοῦ ἐστε ζῶντος, καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς ὅτι ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτῶν Θεός, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι λαός.
17 διο εξελθατε εκ μεσου αυτων και αφορισθητε, λεγει κυριος, και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε, καγω εισδεξομαι υμας,
17 διὸ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε, κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς,
18 και εσομαι υμιν εις πατερα, και υμεις εσεσθε μοι εις υιους και θυγατερας, λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ.
18 καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς πατέρα, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 6:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Corinthians (Homily XII)

    For since he said, God beseeches, and we are ambassadors and suppliants unto you, that ye be "reconciled unto God:" lest they should become supine, he hereby again alarms and arouses them, saying: "We intreat that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." For let us not,' he says, therefore be at ease, because He beseeches and hath …

    or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" And while the children of heathens, who know nothing of resurrection, do yet find words of consolation, saying, "Bear it manfully, for it is not possible to undo what hath taken place, nor to amend it by lamentations;" art not thou, who hearest sayings wiser and better than these, ashamed …
