2 Corinthians 6
1 Therefore, as God’s fellow-workers, we also appeal to you not to receive his loving-kindness in vain.

2 For he says — ‘At the time for acceptance I listened to thee, And on the day of deliverance I helped thee.’ Now is the time for acceptance! Now is the day of deliverance!

3 Never do we put an obstacle in any one’s way, that no fault may be found with our ministry.

4 No, we are trying to commend ourselves under all circumstances, as God’s ministers should — in many an hour of endurance, in troubles, in hardships, in difficulties,

6 by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindliness, by holiness of spirit, by unfeigned love;

7 by the Message of Truth, and by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;

9 as unknown, yet well-known; as at death’s door, yet, see, we are living; as chastised, yet not killed;

10 as saddened, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things!

11 We have been speaking freely to you, men of Corinth; we have opened our heart;

12 there is room there for you, yet there is not room, in your love, for us.

13 Can you not in return — I appeal to you as I should to children — open your hearts to us?

14 Do not enter into inconsistent relations with those who reject the Faith. For what partnership can there be between righteousness and lawlessness? or what has light to do with darkness?

15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial? or what can those who accept the Faith have in common with those who reject it?

16 What agreement can thee be between a temple of God and idols? And we are a temple of the Living God. That is what God meant when he said — ‘I will dwell among them, and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Therefore “Come out from among the nations, and separate yourselves from them,” says the Lord, “And touch nothing impure; And I will welcome you;

18 and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord, the Ruler of all.’
