2 Corintios 6

¹ But as fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace of God in vain: ² (for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now is the well-accepted time; behold, now the day of salvation:) ³ giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed; ⁴ but in everything commending ourselves as God's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits, ⁵ in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, ⁶ in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned, ⁷ in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left, ⁸ through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true; ⁹ as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death; ¹⁰ as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

¹¹ Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded. ¹² Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections; ¹³ but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let *your* heart also expand itself. ¹⁴ Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness? ¹⁵ and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ and what agreement of God's temple with idols? for *ye* are the living God's temple; according as God has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹⁷ Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not what is unclean, and *I* will receive you; ¹⁸ and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
