2 Corinthians 6

1

And working together with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

2

(for he saith, 1 At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation): 1) Isa 49:8

3

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

4

but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much 1 patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 1) Or stedfastness

5

in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

6

in pureness, in knowledge, in long suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

7

in the word of truth, in the power of God; 1 by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 1) Gr through

8

by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

9

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

10

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

11

Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

12

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.

13

Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.

14

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?

15

And what concord hath Christ with 1 Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 1) Gr Beliar

16

And what agreement hath a 1 temple of God with idols? for we are a 1 temple of the living God; even as God said, 2 I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 1) Or sanctuary 2) Le 26:12; Ex 29:45; Eze 37:27; Jer 31:1

Wherefore 1 Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 1) Isa 52:11

18

1 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 1) Ho 1:10; Isa 43:6
