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

¹Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,

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

²for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.” Isaiah 49:8 Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

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

³We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

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

⁴but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

⁵ܒܢܓܕܐ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܒܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܒܠܐܘܬܐ ܒܫܗܪܐ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܀

⁵in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

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

⁶in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

⁷ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܙܝܢܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܡܝܢܐ ܘܒܤܡܠܐ ܀

⁷in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

⁸ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܒܨܥܪܐ ܒܩܘܠܤܐ ܘܒܓܘܢܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܛܥܝܢܐ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ ܀

⁸by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

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

⁹as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;

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

¹⁰as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

¹¹ܦܘܡܢ ܦܬܝܚ ܗܘ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܩܘܪܢܬܝܐ ܘܠܒܢ ܪܘܝܚ ܀

¹¹Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.

¹²ܠܐ ܐܠܝܨܝܬܘܢ ܒܢ ܐܠܝܨܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܚܡܝܟܘܢ ܀

¹²You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

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

¹³Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.

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

¹⁴Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

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

¹⁵What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

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 ܀

¹⁶What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27

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

¹⁷Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41

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

¹⁸I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8
