2 Corinthians 6

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

²For 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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