2 Corinthians 6

use word study mode

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

for he says,"At an acceptable time I listened to you,in a day of salvation I helped you."Isaiah 49:8Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. +

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

but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, +

in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; +

in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love, +

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

by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; +

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed; +

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

Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged. +

You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. +

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

Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? +

What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? +

What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you 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."Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27 +

Therefore"'Come out from among them,and be separate,' says the Lord.'Touch no unclean thing.I will receive you.Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41 +

I will be to you a Father.You will be to me sons and daughters,'says the Lord Almighty."2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8 +
