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

¹Ame kai keras buchi andek than le Devleske, ame mangas tumendar te na meken te xasavol o mishtimos kai sas tume dino lestar.

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.

²O Del mothol, "Ashundem tute kana avili e vriama, o dies le skepimasko zhutisardem tu." Eta, akana e vriama e lashi, adies o dies le skepimasko!

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

³Ame mangas te na mothon ke amari buchi nai chachi, anda kodia ame rodas te na rimosaras kanikaske ande kancheste.

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

⁴Numa sikavas ande soste godi ke sam slugi le Devleske, ande rhavda, ande chinuria, ande so trobulsardiam ame, ai ande nekazuria.

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

⁵Samas marde, ai thode amen ande temnitsa, ai buntuisarde le narodos pe amende, kerdiam buchi kai sas defial phare, chi sovasas, ai chi xasas.

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

⁶Ame sikavas ke sam slugi le Devleske katar amaro vuzhimos angla Del, ai kai zhanas E Vorba le Devleski, katar amari rhavda, ai amaro lashimos kai si ame katar o Swunto Duxo, ai katar amari dragostia e chachi.

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

⁷Ai kai das duma pa chachimos, ai katar e putiera le Devleski, amari armia si o chachimos kai si ando chacho vas te arakhas ame ai si ando stingo vas te maras ame.

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

⁸Uni manush luvudin ame, ai uni manush keren lazhav anda amende; uni manush mothon nasulimos pa amende, ai uni manush phenen mishtimos pa amende; uni manush dikhen pe amende sar te aviliamas xoxamle, ai ame o chachimos phenas;

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

⁹uni manush dikhen pe amende sar te na zhanglino amen, numa savorhe zhanen ame; won keren sar muliam, numa ame zhuvinde sam tume dikhen; maren ame, numa chi mudaren ame;

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

¹⁰Pherdo nekezhime sam, numa sa ame raduime sam; sam chorhe, numa ame barvalas bute narodos; nai ame kanchi, numa chaches amen si ame swako fialo.

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

¹¹Chachimasa diam tumensa duma, murhe vortacha ande Corinth! Ame phuterdiam tumenge sa amaro ilo.

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

¹²Chi phandadiam tumenge amaro ilo; numa tume phandadian tumaro ilo amenge.

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

¹³Dav tumensa duma sar te avilianas murhe shave. Keren amensa sar ame keras tumensa, phutren amenge zurales tumaro ilo.

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

¹⁴Na thon tume kodolensa kai chi pachanpe ando Del, ke won chi malaven pala tumende. Sar sai so si vorta malavel pala nasulimos? Sar sai e vediara tholpe le tuniarikosa andek than?

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

¹⁵Sar sai O Kristo malavel pala beng? Ai so lel o manush kai pachalpe ando Del katar kado kai chi pachalpe?

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

¹⁶Sar sai e khangeri le Devleski ai le ikoni le manushenge kai chi pachan pe ando Del aven andek than? Ke ame sam e khangeri le Devleski, O Del o zhuvindo, ke O Del phendia, "Beshava ande lende, ai traiiva ande lende, me avava lengo Del, ai won avena murho narodo."

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

¹⁷Anda kodia O Del mothol, "Trobul te meken le, ai te vuladion katar kodala manush kai chi pachanpe ando Del, ai nazban kanchi kai si bi vuxho, ai me lava tume mande.

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

¹⁸Me avava tumaro Dat, ai tume aven murhe shave ai murhe sheia, mothol O Del o Baro."
