| 6 | 2 Corinthians | ||
| 1 | Working together with him, then, we entreat you not to accept the grace of God in vain. | ||
| 2 | For he says, and helped you on the day of salvation." | - At the acceptable time I have listened to you 2Cor.6.2 - Is.49.8 | |
| 3 | We put no obstacle in any one's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, | ||
| 4 | but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, | ||
| 5 | beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labours, watching, hunger; | ||
| 6 | by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, | ||
| 7 | truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; | ||
| 8 | in honour and dishonour, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; | ||
| 9 | as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed; | ||
| 10 | as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything. | ||
| 11 | Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide. | ||
| 12 | You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. | ||
| 13 | In return - I speak as to children - widen your hearts also. | ||
| 14 | Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? | The Temple of the Living God 2Cor.6.14-7.1 | |
| 15 | What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? | ||
| 16 | What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. | - I will live in them and move among them 2Cor.6.16 - Lv.26.12, Jr.32.38, Eze.37.27 | |
| 17 | Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, | - Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them 2Cor.6.17 - Is.52.11, Eze.20.34 | |
| 18 | and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." | - and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons 2Cor.6.18 - 2Sm.7.8-14, Is.43.6, Jr.31.9 | |
