¹But [as] fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain:

¹ܘܐܝܟ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܒܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܤܬܪܩ ܒܟܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܀

²(for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now [is the] well-accepted time; behold, now [the] day of salvation:)

²ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܡܩܒܠܐ ܥܢܝܬܟ ܘܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܥܕܪܬܟ ܗܐ ܗܫܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܡܩܒܠܐ ܘܗܐ ܗܫܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܀

³giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;

³ܠܡܐ ܒܡܕܡ ܬܬܠܘܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܢ ܀

⁴but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,

⁴ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܢܚܘܐ ܢܦܫܢ ܕܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܒܐܢܢܩܤ ܒܚܒܘܫܝܐ ܀

⁵in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

⁵ܒܢܓܕܐ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܒܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܫܗܪܐ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܀

⁶in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

⁶ܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܒܢܓܝܪܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܒܤܝܡܘܬܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܀

⁷in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,

⁷ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܙܝܢܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܡܝܢܐ ܘܒܤܡܠܐ ܀

⁸through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;

⁸ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܒܨܥܪܐ ܒܩܘܠܤܐ ܘܒܓܘܢܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ ܀

⁹as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;

⁹ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܘܝܕܝܥܝܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܘܗܐ ܚܝܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܬܪܕܝܢܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܀

¹⁰as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

¹⁰ܐܝܟ ܕܟܪܝܐ ܠܢ ܘܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܚܕܝܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܠܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܥܬܪܝܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܚܝܕܝܢܢ ܀

¹¹Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.

¹¹ܦܘܡܢ ܦܬܝܚ ܗܘ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܩܘܪܢܬܝܐ ܘܠܒܢ ܪܘܝܚ ܀

¹²Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;

¹²ܠܐ ܐܠܝܨܝܬܘܢ ܒܢ ܐܠܝܨܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܚܡܝܟܘܢ ܀

¹³but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let *your* heart also expand itself.

¹³ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܪܥܘܢܝ ܚܘܒܠܝ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܪܘܚܘ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܀

¹⁴Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?

¹⁴ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܙܘܓܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܥܡ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܢܐ ܚܘܠܛܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢܗܝܪܐ ܥܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܀

¹⁵and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?

¹⁵ܐܘ ܐܝܕܐ ܫܠܡܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܤܛܢܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܕܐ ܡܢܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܥܡ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܀

¹⁶and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are [the] living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.

¹⁶ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܘܝܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܝܟܠܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܡ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܟܠܗ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܝܪ ܕܐܥܡܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܗܠܟ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܝ ܥܡܐ ܀

¹⁷Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and *I* will receive you;

¹⁷ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܦܪܫܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܛܡܐܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܩܪܒܘܢ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܩܒܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁸and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.

¹⁸ܘܐܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐܒܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܒܢܝܐ ܘܠܒܢܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܟܠ ܐܚܝܕ ܀
