Geneva1599 - II Corinthians - 6

6:1  So we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine.

6:2  For he sayth, I haue heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I succoured thee: beholde nowe the accepted time, beholde nowe the day of saluation.

6:3  We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.

6:4  But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

6:5  In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,

6:6  By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,

6:7  By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,

6:8  By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:

6:9  As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:

6:10  As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.

6:11  O Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you: our heart is made large.

6:12  Ye are not kept strait in vs, but ye are kept strait in your owne bowels.

6:13  Nowe for the same recompence, I speake as to my children, Be you also inlarged.

6:14  Be not vnequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darkenesse?

6:15  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath the beleeuer with the infidell?

6:16  And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.

6:17  Wherefore come out from among them, and separate your selues, saith the Lord, and touch none vncleane thing, and I wil receiue you.

6:18  And I will be a Father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord almightie.
