2 Corinthians 6

1As God’s fellow workersG4903,1 thenG2532, we urgeG3870 youG4771 notG3361 to receiveG1209 God’sG2316 graceG5485 inG1519 vainG2756. 2ForG1063 He saysG3004:

“In the timeG2540 of favorG1184 I heardG1873 youG4771,andG2532 inG1722 the dayG2250 of salvationG4991 I helpedG997 youG4771.”2

BeholdG2400, nowG3568 is the timeG2540 of favorG2144; nowG3568 is the dayG2250 of salvationG4991!

3We putG1325 noG3367 obstacleG4349 inG1722 anyone’s wayG3367, so thatG2443 no oneG3361 can discreditG3469 our ministryG1248.

4RatherG235, asG5613 servantsG1249 of GodG2316 we commendG4921 ourselvesG1438 inG1722 every wayG3956: inG1722 greatG4183 enduranceG5281; inG1722 troublesG2347, hardshipsG318, and calamitiesG4730; 5inG1722 beatingsG4127, imprisonmentsG5438, and riotsG181; inG1722 laborG2873, sleepless nightsG70, and hungerG3521; 6inG1722 purityG54, knowledgeG1108, patienceG3115, and kindnessG5544; inG1722 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and inG1722 sincereG505 loveG26; 7inG1722 truthfulG225 speechG3056 and inG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316; withG1223 theG3588 weaponsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 in theG3588 right handG1188 andG2532 in the leftG710; 8throughG1223 gloryG1391 andG2532 dishonorG819, slanderG1426 andG2532 praiseG2162; viewed asG5613 impostersG4108, yetG2532 genuineG227; 9unknownG5613G50, yetG2532 well-knownG1921; dyingG599, and yetG2532 we live onG2198; punishedG3811, yetG2532 not killedG3361G2289; 10sorrowfulG3076, yetG1161 alwaysG104 rejoicingG5463; poorG4434, yetG1161 making manyG4183 richG4148; havingG2192 nothingG3367, and yetG2532 possessingG2722 everythingG3956.

WeG1473 have spoken freelyG4750G455 toG4314 youG4771, CorinthiansG2881. OurG1473 heartsG2588 are open wideG4115. 12It is notG3756 ourG1722G1473 affectionG4698, but yoursG4771, that is restrainedG4729. 13As a fairG846 exchangeG489—I speakG3004 as toG5613 my childrenG5043—open wideG4115 yourG4771 hearts alsoG2532.

Do Not Be Unequally Yoked

14Do notG3361 beG1096 unequally yokedG2086 with unbelieversG571. ForG1063 whatG5101 partnershipG3352 can righteousnessG1343 have with wickednessG458? OrG2228 whatG5101 fellowshipG2842 does lightG5457 have withG4314 darknessG4655? 15WhatG5101 harmonyG4857 is there between ChristG5547 andG4314 BelialG955?3 OrG2228 whatG5101 does a believerG4103 have in commonG3310 withG3326 an unbelieverG571? 16WhatG5101 agreementG4783 can exist betweenG3326 the templeG3485 of GodG2316 and idolsG1497? ForG1063 weG1473 areG1510 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316. AsG2531 GodG2316 has saidG2036:

“I will dwellG1774 withG1722 themG846andG2532 walk amongG1704 them,andG2532 I will beG1510 theirG846 GodG2316,andG2532 theyG846 will beG1510 MyG1473 peopleG2992.”4
17“ThereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537G3319 among themG846andG2532 be separateG873, saysG3004 the LordG2962.TouchG680 noG3361 unclean thingG169,and IG2504 will receiveG1523 youG4771.”5

18AndG2532:

“I will beG1510 a FatherG3962 to youG4771,andG2532 youG4771 will beG1510 MyG1473 sonsG5207 andG2532 daughtersG2364,saysG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.”6
