Anderson - II Corinthians - 6

6:1  As co-workers with him, we beseech you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain:

6:2  (for he says: I have heard thee in an acceptable time, and in the day of salvation I have helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation:)

6:3  for we put no stumbling-block in any man’s way, in order that this ministry may not be blamed;

6:4  but in all things we commend ourselves as the ministers of God, in much suffering, in afflictions, in distresses, in straits,

6:5  in stripes, in prisons,, in commotions, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

6:6  by purity, by knowledge, by long forbearance, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,

6:7  by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

6:8  by honor and dishonor, by evil report, and good report; as impostors, yet truthful;

6:9  as unknown, yet well-known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and yet not put to death;

6:10  as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.

6:11  Corinthians, our mouth is opened to you, our heart is enlarged:

6:12  you are not straitened in us, but you are straitened in your own affections.

6:13  That you may repay me in like manner, (I speak as to children,) be you also enlarged.

6:14  Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness?

6:15  What agreement has Christ with Belial? What connection has a believer with an unbeliever?

6:16  What has a temple of God in common with one of idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

6:17  For this reason, come out from among them, and separate yourselves, says the Lord, and touch not an unclean person, and I will receive you;

6:18  and I will be to you a father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
