2 Corinthians  


6 : 1 As God`s fellow workers we urge you not to receive God`s grace in vain.
6 : 2 For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God`s favor, now is the day of salvation.
6 : 3 We put no stumbling block in anyone`s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
6 : 4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
6 : 5 in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
6 : 6 in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
6 : 7 in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
6 : 8 through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
6 : 9 known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
6 : 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
6 : 11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
6 : 12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.
6 : 13 As a fair exchange--I speak as to my children--open wide your hearts also.
6 : 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
6 : 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
6 : 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
6 : 17 Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.
6 : 18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
