1 Adjuvantes autem exhortamur ne in vacuum gratiam Dei recipiatis. 2 Ait enim: Tempore accepto exaudivi te, et in die salutis adjuvi te. Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis. 3 Nemini dantes ullam offensionem, ut non vituperetur ministerium nostrum: 4 sed in omnibus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in tribulationibus, in necessitatibus, in angustiis, 5 in plagis, in carceribus, in seditionibus, in laboribus, in vigiliis, in jejuniis, 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 justitiæ a dextris et a 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 eamdem autem habentes remunerationem, tamquam filiis dico, dilatamini et vos. 14 Nolite jugum ducere cum infidelibus. Quæ enim participatio justitiæ cum iniquitate? aut quæ societas luci ad tenebras? 15 quæ autem conventio Christi ad Belial? aut quæ pars fideli cum infideli? 16 qui 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 Propter quod exite de medio eorum, et separamini, dicit Dominus, et immundum ne tetigeritis: 18 et ego recipiam vos: et ero vobis in patrem, et vos eritis mihi in filios et filias, dicit Dominus omnipotens.]

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 …

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 …
