2 Corinthians 6

¹And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —

²for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —

³in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,

⁴but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

⁵in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

⁶in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

⁷in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,

⁸through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;

⁹as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;

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

¹¹Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!

¹²ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,

¹³and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it],) be ye enlarged — also ye!

¹⁴Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
