2 Corinthians 6
1AND, as workers together with him, we also beseech you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain;
2(for he says: In an accepted time I heard thee, And in the day of salvation I helped thee; behold, now is the well accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation;)
3giving no cause of offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;
4but as God's ministers, commending ourselves in everything, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
6in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
7in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and true;
9as unknown, and well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11O Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.
12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13Now as a recompense in the same kind (I speak as to my children), be ye also enlarged.
14Be not yoked unequally with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
15And what concord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
16And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God; as God said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
17Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean; and I will receive you,
18and will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
