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, and 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 and yet well known, as 12dying and yet behold, 13we are alive; as 14punished and yet not put to death, 10as 15sorrowful yet always 16rejoicing, as 17poor yet making many rich, as 18having nothing and yet possessing 19all things.

11 20Our mouth 21has spoken freely to you, you Corinthians, our 22heart is opened wide. 12You are not restrained 23by us, but 24you are restrained in your own 25affections. 13Now in the same way in 26exchange--I am speaking as to 27children--open wide your hearts to us, you as well.

14 28Do not be 29mismatched with 30unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness 31share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? 15Or what 32harmony does Christ have with 33Belial, or 34what does a 35believer share with an 36unbeliever?
