2Corinthians 6
2Co
6:1 We then, as workers together with him,
beseech you also that ye receive not the
grace of God in vain.
2Co 6:2 (For he saith, I
have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured
thee: behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.)
2Co 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the
ministry be not blamed:
2Co 6:4 But in all things
approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions,
in necessities, in distresses,
2Co 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours,
in watchings, in fastings;
2Co 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering,
by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
2Co 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by
the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2Co 6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and
good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
2Co 6:9 As unknown, and yet
well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
2Co 6:10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor,
yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing all things.
2Co 6:11 O ye
Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
2Co 6:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are
straitened in your own bowels.
2Co 6:13 Now for a recompense in the same, I (speak as
unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness?
2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or
what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Co 6:16 And 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.
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall
be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
