[1] And working together with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain [2] (for he saith,
At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee,
And in a day of salvation did I succor thee:
behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation): [3] giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed; [4] but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, [5] in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; [6] in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned, [7] in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, [8] by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; [9] as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; [10] as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
[11] Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged. [12] Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections. [13] Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.
[14] Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? [15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? [16] And what agreement hath 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 shall be my people. [17] Wherefore
Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord,
And touch no unclean thing;
And I will receive you,
[18] And will be to you a Father,
And ye shall be to me sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.
