Notes on this text (2)

1 Όντες δε συνεργοί αυτού, παρακαλούμεν ενταυτώ να μη δεχθήτε την χάριν του Θεού ματαίως· 2 διότι λέγει· Εν καιρώ δεκτώ επήκουσά σου και εν ημέρα σωτηρίας σε εβοήθησα· ιδού, τώρα καιρός ευπρόσδεκτος, ιδού, τώρα ημέρα σωτηρίας· 3 μη δίδοντες μηδέν πρόσκομμα κατ' ουδέν, διά να μη προσαφθή μώμος εις την διακονίαν, 4 αλλά εν παντί συνιστώντες εαυτούς ως υπηρέται Θεού, εν υπομονή πολλή, εν θλίψεσιν, εν ανάγκαις, εν στενοχωρίαις, 5 εν ραβδισμοίς, εν φυλακαίς, εν ακαταστασίαις, εν κόποις, εν αγρυπνίαις, εν νηστείαις, 6 εν καθαρότητι, εν γνώσει, εν μακροθυμία, εν χρηστότητι, εν Πνεύματι Αγίω, εν αγάπη ανυποκρίτω, 7 εν λόγω αληθείας, εν δυνάμει Θεού, διά των όπλων της δικαιοσύνης των δεξιών και αριστερών, 8 διά δόξης και ατιμίας, διά δυσφημίας και ευφημίας, ως πλάνοι όμως αληθείς, 9 ως αγνοούμενοι αλλά καλώς γνωριζόμενοι, ως αποθνήσκοντες αλλ ιδού, ζώμεν, ως παιδευόμενοι αλλά μη θανατούμενοι, 10 ως λυπούμενοι πάντοτε όμως χαίροντες, ως πτωχοί πολλούς όμως πλουτίζοντες, ως μηδέν έχοντες και τα πάντα κατέχοντες. 11 Το στόμα ημών ηνοίχθη προς εσάς, Κορίνθιοι, η καρδία ημών επλατύνθη· 12 δεν έχετε στενοχωρίαν εν ημίν, αλλ' έχετε στενοχωρίαν εν τοις σπλάγχνοις υμών· 13 την αυτήν λοιπόν αντιμισθίαν αποδίδοντες, ως προς τέκνα λαλώ, πλατύνθητε και σεις. 14 Μη ομοζυγείτε με τους απίστους· διότι τίνα μετοχήν έχει η δικαιοσύνη με την ανομίαν; τίνα δε κοινωνίαν το φως προς το σκότος; 15 Τίνα δε συμφωνίαν ο Χριστός με τον Βελίαλ; ή τίνα μερίδα ο πιστός με τον άπιστον; 16 Τίνα δε συμβίβασιν ο ναός του Θεού με τα είδωλα; διότι σεις είσθε ναός Θεού ζώντος, καθώς είπεν ο Θεός ότι θέλω κατοικεί εν αυτοίς και περιπατεί, και θέλω είσθαι Θεός αυτών, και αυτοί θέλουσιν είσθαι λαός μου. 17 Διά τούτο. Εξέλθετε εκ μέσου αυτών και αποχωρίσθητε, λέγει Κύριος, και μη εγγίσητε ακάθαρτον, και εγώ θέλω σας δεχθή, 18 και θέλω είσθαι Πατήρ σας, και σεις θέλετε είσθαι υιοί μου και θυγατέρες, 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).

    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 …
