2 Corinthians 6

1And workingG4903 togetherG4903 with him we entreat alsoG2532 that ye receiveG1209 not the graceG5485 of GodG2316 in vainG2756 2(for he saith,

At an acceptableG2144 timeG2540 I hearkened unto thee,And in a dayG2250 of salvationG4991 did I succor thee:

beholdG2400, nowG3568 is the acceptableG2144 timeG2540; beholdG2400, nowG3568 is the dayG2250 of salvationG4991): 3givingG1325 no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed; 4but in everythingG3956 commendingG4921 ourselves, as ministers of GodG2316, in muchG4183 patience, in afflictionsG2347, in necessities, in distressesG4730, 5in stripes, in imprisonmentsG5438, in tumults, in laborsG2873, in watchings, in fastings; 6in pureness, in knowledgeG1108, in longsuffering, in kindnessG5544, in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, in loveG26 unfeigned, 7in the wordG3056 of truthG225, in the powerG1411 of GodG2316; by the armor of righteousnessG1343 on the rightG1188 handG1188 and on the left, 8by gloryG1391 and dishonorG819, by evil report and good report; as deceiversG4108, and yet trueG227; 9as unknownG50, and yet well knownG1921; as dyingG599, and beholdG2400, we liveG2198; as chastened, and not killed; 10as sorrowfulG3076, yet alwaysG104 rejoicingG5463; as poorG4434, yet making manyG4183 rich; as having nothingG3367, and yet possessing all thingsG3956.

11Our mouthG4750 is openG455 unto you, O CorinthiansG2881, our heartG2588 is enlarged. 12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affectionsG4698. 13NowG1161 for a recompense in like kind (I speakG3004 as unto my childrenG5043), be ye alsoG2532 enlarged.

14Be not unequally yoked with unbelieversG571: for what fellowshipG2842 have righteousnessG1343 and iniquity? or what communion hath lightG5457 with darknessG4655? 15And what concord hath ChristG5547 with Belial? or what portion hath a believerG4103 with an unbelieverG571? 16And what agreement hath a templeG3485 of GodG2316 with idolsG1497? for we areG1510 a templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; evenG2532 as GodG2316 saidG3004, I will dwellG1774 in them, and walk in them; and I will beG1510 their GodG2316, and they shall beG1510 my peopleG2992. 17Wherefore

ComeG1831 ye out from among them, and be ye separateG873,

saith the LordG2962,

And touchG681 no uncleanG169 thing;And I will receive you,18And will beG1510 to you a FatherG3962,And ye shall beG1510 to me sonsG5207 and daughtersG2364,

saith the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.
