2 Corinthians 6
1 So we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine.
Working together now also we exhort not in vain the grace of God to receive you;
2 For 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.
He says for: In a time acceptable I listened to you and in a day of salvation I helped you; Behold now [is the] time of favor, behold now [is the] day of salvation;
3 We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.
Nothing before no one placing an obstacle, so that not may be blemished the ministry,
4 But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
rather in everything we are commending ourselves as God’s servants in endurance great, in tribulations, in hardships, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,
in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,
6 By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,
in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in [the] Spirit Holy, in love genuine,
7 By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,
in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for [the] left,
8 By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:
through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report, as imposters and yet true,
9 As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:
as being unknown and yet being well-known, as dying and yet behold we live, as being disciplined and yet not being killed,
10 As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.
as being sorrowful always yet rejoicing, as poor many yet enriching, as nothing having and yet all things possessing.
11 O Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you: our heart is made large.
The mouth of us has been opened to you, Corinthians, the heart of us has been expanded;
12 Ye are not kept strait in vs, but ye are kept strait in your owne bowels.
Not you are restrained by us, you are restrained however in the affections of you;
13 Nowe for the same recompence, I speake as to my children, Be you also inlarged.
Now [as] the same recompense, as to children I speak, do open [yourselves] also you.
14 Be not vnequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darkenesse?
Not do become unequally yoked together with unbelievers; what for partnership [have] righteousness and lawlessness? (Or *N(k)O*) what fellowship light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath the beleeuer with the infidell?
What now harmony [has] (Christ *N(k)O*) with Belial? Or what part [has] a believer with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.
What now agreement [the] temple of God with idols? (We ourselves *N(K)O*) for [the] temple of God (we are *N(K)O*) [the] living, even as has said God that I will dwell in them and will walk among [them], and I will be their God and they themselves will be (to Me *N(k)O*) a people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and separate your selues, saith the Lord, and touch none vncleane thing, and I wil receiue you.
Therefore do come out from [the] midst of them and do be separate, says [the] Lord, and unclean nothing do touch; and I myself and I myself will receive you,
18 And I will be a Father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord almightie.
and I will be to you for a father and you yourselves will be to Me for sons and daughters, says [the] Lord Almighty.
