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

¹Bada haren languile garelaric, othoitz eguiten-ere badrauçuegu, eztuçuen, alfer Iaincoaren gratiá recebitu.

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.

²Ecen dio Iaincoac, Dembora gogaracoan exauditu vkan aut, eta saluamendutaco egunean aiutatu vkan aut. Huná orain dembora gogaracoa, huná orain saluamendutaco eguna.

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

³Scandaloric batre deusetan emaiten eztugularic, gure ministerioa vitupera eztadinçát:

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

⁴Baina gauça gucietán approbatu eracusten ditugularic gure buruäc Iaincoaren cerbitzari anço, patientia handiz tribulationetan, necessitatetan, hersturétan,

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

⁵Çauriétan, presoindeguiétan, tumultuoétan, trabailluétan, veillatzétan, barurétan.

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

⁶Puritatez, eçagutzez, spiritu patientez, ontassunez, Spiritu sainduaz, hypocrysia gaberico charitatez,

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

⁷Eguiazco hitzez, Iaincoaren botherez iustitiazco harma escuinez eta ezquerrez.

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

⁸Ohorez eta desohorez, fama gaitzez eta fama onez.

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

⁹Seduciçale beçala, eta alabaina eguiati: ez eçagunac beçala, eta alabaina eçagunac: hiltzen baguina beçala, eta huna vici gara: gaztigatzen garenac beçala, eta alabaina ez hilac:

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

¹⁰Triste beçala, baina bethi aleguera: paubre beçala, baina anhitzen abratsale: deus gabe beçala, eta alabaina gauça gucien possediçale.

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

¹¹O Corinthianoác, gure ahoa irequia da çuetara, gure bihotza largatua da.

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

¹²Etzarete herssiqui habitatzen gutan: baina enserratuac çarete ceuron halsarretan.

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

¹³Bada neure haourrey anço recompensa beraz minço natzaiçue: larga çaiteztez çuec-ere.

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

¹⁴Etzaiteztela infidelequin vztár: ecen cer participatione du iustitiác iniustitiarequin? eta cer communicatione arguiac ilhumbearequin.

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

¹⁵Eta cer concordia du Christec Belialequin? eta cer parte fidelac infidelarequin?

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

¹⁶Eta cer consentimendu du Iaincoaren templeac idolequin? ecen çuec Iainco viciaren temple çarete: Iaincoac erran duen beçala Habitaturen naiz hetan eta ebiliren: eta içanen naiz hayén Iainco eta hec içanen dirade ene populu.

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

¹⁷Harren, ilki çaiteztez hayén artetic, eta separa çaiteztez, dio Iaunac: eta gauça cithalic hunqui ezteçaçuela, eta nic recebituren çaituztet.

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

¹⁸Eta içanen natzaiçue çuey Aita, eta çuec içanen çaizquidáte seme eta alaba, dio Iaun bothere gucitacoac.
