1 We then, as workers together with him , beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

1 Kai Jō leidzstrōdnīki, mes jyusus breidynojam, lai jyus Dīva žēlesteibas par veļti najimtu. 2 Ir saceits: Žēlesteibas laikā es tevi asmu izklausejis, pesteišonas dīnā es tev asmu paleidzējis. Raug, tagad ir žēlesteibas laiks, raug, tagad ir pesteišonas dīna.
3 Mes nivīna nikai naiļaunojam, lai myusu omots nabyutu pasmōdāts, 4 bet gon vysur pasarōdam kai Dīva kolpi: ar lelu pacīteibu spaidūs, tryukumā un bailēs, 5 šausteišonā, cītumā, sasaceļšonā, pyulēs, nakts nūmūdā, gavēnī, 6 ceisteibā, zynōšonā, lānprōteibā, labsirdeibā, Svātajā Gorā, nalīkuļōtā mīlesteibā, 7 patīseibas sludynōšonā, Dīva spākā ar taisneibas īrūčim pa lobajai un pa kreisajai; 8 gūdā un nagūdā, pasmōdēšonā un teikšonā; par mōnim īskaiteiti, tūmār patīseigi; 9 napazeistami, tūmār labi zynomi; itkai mērstūši, bet, raug, mes dzeivojam; nūšausteiti tūmār, nanūnōvāti; 10 nūskumdynōti, tūmār vysod prīceigi; tryukumā, tūmār daudzejūs dorūši bogōtus; kai taidi, kam nikō nava, bet tūmār kam ir vyss.
11 Pret jums, korintīši, myusu mute atsavēre un sirds palyka plašōka. 12 Myusūs jyus aizjamat daudzi vītas, bet jyusu sirdīs ir moz vītas. 13 Atmoksojit ar leidzeigu moksu, — kai bārnim es jums soku, — paplašynojit arī jyus sovas sirdis. 14 Nadorit tai, kai naticeigī. Kas tad taisneibai ir kūpejs ar nataisneibu? Vai arī, kas gaismai kūpejs ar tymsumu? 15 Kaida tad Kristum ir īspējama saskaņa ar Beliali? Kas tad ticeigajam kūpejs ar bezticeigū? 16 Kaids tad Dīva svētneicai sakars ar dīvaklim? Mes asam dzeivō Dīva svētneica. Jo Dīvs saceja: Es storp jums dzeivōšu un staigōšu; Es grybu byut jyusu Dīvs un jums jōir munai tautai. 17 Tōpēc nu jūs vyda ejat ōrā un sevi nūrūbežojit, soka Kungs, un nikō nateira naaizskarit. Tad es jyusus pījimšu 18 un byušu jums par tāvu un jums jōir man par dālim un meitom, soka Kungs, tys Vysvareigais.
