< 2 Corinthians 6 >

1 Working together now also we exhort not in vain the grace of God to receive you; 2 He says for: In a time acceptable I listened to you and in a day of salvation I helped you; Behold now [is the] time of favor, behold now [is the] day of salvation; 3 Nothing before no one placing an obstacle, so that not may be blemished the ministry, 4 rather in everything we are commending ourselves as God’s servants in endurance great, in tribulations, in hardships, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings, 6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in [the] Spirit Holy, in love genuine, 7 in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for [the] left, 8 through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report, as imposters and yet true, 9 as being unknown and yet being well-known, as dying and yet behold we live, as being disciplined and yet not being killed, 10 as being sorrowful always yet rejoicing, as poor many yet enriching, as nothing having and yet all things possessing. 11 The mouth of us has been opened to you, Corinthians, the heart of us has been expanded; 12 Not you are restrained by us, you are restrained however in the affections of you; 13 Now [as] the same recompense, as to children I speak, do open [yourselves] also you. 14 Not do become unequally yoked together with unbelievers; what for partnership [have] righteousness and lawlessness? (Or *N+kO) what fellowship light with darkness? 15 What now harmony [has] (Christ *N+kO) with Belial? Or what part [has] a believer with an unbeliever? 16 What now agreement [the] temple of God with idols? (We ourselves *N+KO) for [the] temple of God (we are *N+KO) [the] living, even as has said God that I will dwell in them and will walk among [them], and I will be their God and they themselves will be (to Me *N+kO) a people. 17 Therefore do come out from [the] midst of them and do be separate, says [the] Lord, and unclean nothing do touch; and I myself and I myself will receive you, 18 and I will be to you for a father and you yourselves will be to Me for sons and daughters, says [the] Lord Almighty.
