Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 6
{6:1} Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the
grace of God in vain, {6:2} for he says,
"At an acceptable time I listened to you,
in a day of salvation I helped you."[1]
Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of
salvation. {6:3} We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that
our service may not be blamed, {6:4} but in everything commending
ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in
hardships, in distresses, {6:5} in beatings, in imprisonments, in
riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; {6:6} in pureness, in
knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere
love, {6:7} in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of
righteousness on the right hand and on the left, {6:8} by glory and
dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
{6:9} as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live;
as punished, and not killed; {6:10} as sorrowful, yet always
rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing all things.
{6:11} Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
{6:12} You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your
own affections. {6:13} Now in return, I speak as to my children, you
also be open wide. {6:14} Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers,
for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what
fellowship has light with darkness? {6:15} What agreement has Messiah
with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? {6:16}
What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of
the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."[2] {6:17}
Therefore
"'Come out from among them,
and be separate,' says the Lord.
'Touch no unclean thing.
I will receive you.[3]
{6:18} I will be to you a Father.
You will be to me sons and daughters,'
says the Lord Almighty."[4]
