2 Corinthians 6:6-15

6by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love,

7by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,

8through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors, and yet true;

9as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed;

10as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

11We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide to you.

12Our affection for you is not restricted, but you are restricted in your affections for us.

13Now as a fair exchange – I speak as to my children – open wide your hearts to us also.

14Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

15And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever?
