2 Corinthians 6:4-18

4But in all things commending ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,1 5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;2 6By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, 7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8By honour and dishonour, by bad report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

11O yeCorinthians, We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12Ye are not restrained by us, but ye are restrained by your own affections. 13Now in return for the same, (I speak as to my children,) open wide your hearts to us. 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you, 18And I will be a Father to you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
