6:1 我们与天主合作的人，也劝你们不要白受天主的恩宠──
Working together, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 6:2 因为经上说：『在悦纳的时候，我俯允了你；在救恩的时日，我帮助了你。』看！如今正是悦纳的时候；看，如今正是救恩的时日──
For he says: "In an acceptable time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 6:3 我们在任何事上，为避免这职务受诋毁，不但没有给任何人跌倒的因由，
We cause no one to stumble in anything, in order that no fault may be found with our ministry; 6:4 反而处处表现我们自己，有如天主的仆役，就是以持久的坚忍，在艰难、贫乏、困苦之中，
on the contrary, in everything we commend ourselves as ministers of God, through much endurance, in afflictions, hardships, constraints, 6:5 在拷打、监禁、暴乱之中，在劳苦、不寝、不食之中，
beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, vigils, fasts; 6:6 以清廉，以明智，以容忍，以慈惠，以圣神，以无伪的爱情，
by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in a holy spirit, in unfeigned love, 6:7 以真理的言辞，以天主的德能，以左右两手中正义的武器，
in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left; 6:8 历经光荣的凌辱，恶名和美名；像是迷惑人的，却是真诚的；
through glory and dishonor, insult and praise. We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful; 6:9 像是人所不知的，却是人所共知的；像是待死的，看！我们却活着；像是受惩罚的，却没有置于死地；
as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live; as chastised and yet not put to death; 6:10 像是忧苦的，却常常喜乐；像是贫困的，却使许多人富足；像是一无所有的，却无所不有。
as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things. 6:11 格林多人啊!我们的口向你们张开了，我们的心也敞开了。
We have spoken frankly to you, Corinthians; our heart is open wide. 6:12 你们在我们心内并不窄狭，而是你们的心肠窄狭。
You are not constrained by us; you are constrained by your own affections. 6:13 为了以报还报，如今我对你们犹如对自己的孩子说：你们也敞开你们的心罢!
As recompense in kind (I speak as to my children), be open yourselves. 6:14 你们不要与不信的人共负一轭，因为正义与不法之间，那能有什么相通﹖或者，光明之于黑暗，那能有什么联系﹖
Do not be yoked with those who are different, with unbelievers. For what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 6:15 基督之于贝里雅耳，那能有什么协和﹖或者，信者与不信者，那能有什么股份﹖
What accord has Christ with Beliar? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? 6:16 天主的殿与偶像，那能有什么相合﹖的确，我们就是生活的天主的殿，正如天主所说的：『我要在他们内居住，我要在他们中徘徊；我要做他们的天主，他们要做我的百姓。』
What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said: "I will live with them and move among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. 6:17 为此，『你们应当从他们中间出来，离开他们──这是上主说的──你们不可触摸不洁之物，我要收纳你们，
Therefore, come forth from them and be separate," says the Lord, "and touch nothing unclean; then I will receive you 6:18 我要做你们的父亲，你们要做我的子女；这是全能的上主说的。』
and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty."
