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