LO - II Corinthians - 6

6:1  We, then, as fellow-laborers, also beseech you not to receive the favor of God in vain;

6:2  (for he says, "In an accepted season I have hearkened to you; and in a day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is a highly accepted season; behold, now is a day of salvation:)

6:3  giving no cause of offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed.

6:4  But by everything approving ourselves as ministers of God, by much patience, by oppressions, by necessities, by distresses,

6:5  by stripes, by imprisonments, by tumults, by labors, by watchings, by fastings;

6:6  by purity, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by goodness, by a holy spirit, by love unfeigned;

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

6:8  through honor and dishonor, through bad fame and good fame; as deceivers, yet true;

6:9  as unknown, yet well known; as dying, yet, behold, we live; as chastened, yet not killed;

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

6:11  Corinthians! our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.

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

6:13  Now, in return, (I speak as to children,) be you also enlarged.

6:14  Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?

6:15  what concord has Christ with Belial? or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

6:16  And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, "Assuredly I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.

6:17  Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch no unclean person; and I will receive you;

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