2 Corinthians 6 - American Standard Version 20151 And working together {\i with him} we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain 2 (for he saith,\par\tab {\b At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee,\par\tab And in a day of salvation did I succor thee}:\par\tab behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is {\b the day of salvation}): 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 patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, 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; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and {\i yet} true; 9 as unknown, and {\i 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 {\i yet} possessing all things.\par 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 {\i my} children), be ye also enlarged.\par 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 Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, {\b I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.} 17 Wherefore\par\tab {\b Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate,} saith the Lord,\par\tab {\b And touch no unclean thing};\par\tab And I will receive you, 18 {\b And will be to you a Father,\par\tab And ye shall be to me sons and daughters,\par\tab saith the Lord Almighty.} |
