NHEBJE - II Corinthians - 6

6:1  Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,

6:2  for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.

6:3  We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

6:4  but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

6:5  in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

6:6  in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

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

6:8  by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

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

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

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

6:12  You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

6:13  Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.

6:14  Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

6:15  What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

6:16  What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."

6:17  Therefore, "'Come out from among them, and be separate,' says Jehovah. 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

6:18  I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says Jehovah Almighty."
