2 Corinthians 6:6-15

6in purity, in 1knowledge, in 2patience, in kindness, in the 3Holy Spirit, in 4genuine love, 7in 5the word of truth, in 6the power of God; by 7the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8by glory and 8dishonor, by 9evil report and good report; regarded as 10deceivers and yet 11true; 9as unknown 12yet well-known, as 13dying 14yet behold, 15we live; as 16punished 17yet not put to death, 10as 18sorrowful yet always 19rejoicing, as 20poor yet making many rich, as 21having nothing 22yet possessing 23all things.

11 24Our mouth 25has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our 26heart is opened wide. 12You are not restrained 27by us, but 28you are restrained in your own 29affections. 13Now in a like 30exchange--I speak as to 31children--open wide to us also.

14 32Do not be 33bound together with 34unbelievers; for what 35partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15Or what 36harmony has Christ with 37Belial, or 38what has a 39believer in common with an 40unbeliever?
