2 Corinthians 6:4-18

4but in everything 1commending ourselves as 23servants of God, 4in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in difficulties, 5in 5beatings, in imprisonments, in 67mob attacks, in labors, in sleeplessness, in 8hunger, 6in purity, in 9knowledge, in 10patience, in kindness, in the 11Holy Spirit, in 12genuine love, 7in 13the word of truth, and in 14the power of God; by 15the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8by glory and 16dishonor, by 17evil report and good report; regarded as 18deceivers and yet 19true; 9as unknown and yet well known, as 20dying and yet behold, 21we are alive; as 22punished and yet not put to death, 10as 23sorrowful yet always 24rejoicing, as 25poor yet making many rich, as 26having nothing and yet possessing 27all things.

1128Our mouth 29has spoken freely to you, you Corinthians, our 30heart is opened wide. 12You are not restrained 31by us, but 32you are restrained in your own 33affections. 13Now in the same way in 34exchange--I am speaking as to 35children--open wide your hearts to us, you as well.

1436Do not be 37mismatched with 38unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness 39share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? 15Or what 40harmony does Christ have with 41Belial, or 42what does a 43believer share with an 44unbeliever? 16Or 45what agreement does 46the temple of God have with idols? For we are 4748the temple of 49the living God; just as God said, “50I will 51dwell among them and 52walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.1753Therefore, 54come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you.1855And I will be a father to you, And you shall be 56sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.
