2-Corinthians 6:1
And you also we, as God’s fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose.
2-Corinthians 6:2
For He says, <“At a time of welcome I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have succoured you.”> Now is the time of loving welcome! Now is the day of salvation!
2-Corinthians 6:3
We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit.
2-Corinthians 6:4
On the contrary, as God’s servants, we seek their full approval–by unwearied endurance, by afflictions, by distress, by helplessness;
2-Corinthians 6:5
by floggings, by imprisonments; by facing riots, by toil, by sleepless watching, by hunger and thirst;
2-Corinthians 6:6
by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the holy Spirit, by sincere love;
2-Corinthians 6:7
by the proclamation of the truth, by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, wielded in both hands;
2-Corinthians 6:8
through honour and ignominy, through calumny and praise. We are looked upon as impostors and yet are true men;
2-Corinthians 6:9
as obscure persons, and yet are well known; as on the point of death, and yet, strange to tell, we live; as under God’s discipline, and yet we are not deprived of life;
2-Corinthians 6:10
as sad, but we are always joyful; as poor, but we bestow wealth on many; as having nothing, and yet we securely possess all things.
2-Corinthians 6:11
O Corinthians, our lips are unsealed to you: our heart is expanded.
2-Corinthians 6:12
There is no narrowness in our love to you: the narrowness is in your own feelings.
2-Corinthians 6:13
And in just requital–I speak as to my children–let your hearts expand also.
2-Corinthians 6:14
Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?
2-Corinthians 6:15
Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever?
2-Corinthians 6:16
And what compact has the temple of God with idols? For *we* are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said, <“I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; and will be their God, and it is they who shall be My people.”>
2-Corinthians 6:17
Therefore, <“`Come out from among them and separate yourselves,’ says the Lord, `and touch nothing impure; and I will receive you, and will be a father to you,
2-Corinthians 6:18
and you shall be My sons and daughters,’ says the Lord the ruler of all.”>
