2 Corinthians 6

1 And working together also we call upon you that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —⋮

2 for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now is a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —⋮

3 in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,⋮

4 but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,⋮

5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,⋮

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,⋮

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,⋮

8 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;⋮

9 as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;⋮

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

11 Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!⋮

12 ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your own bowels,⋮

13 and as a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say it,) be ye enlarged — also ye!⋮

14 Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking is there to righteousness and lawlessness?⋮

15 and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?⋮

16 and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,⋮

17 wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,⋮

18 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'⋮
