Return to Index

Chapter 6

1


 

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

 

 

--

2


 

  for he says, 'At an acceptable time I listened to you, In a day of salvation I helped you.' Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.  

 

 

--

3


 

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

 

 

--

4


 

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

 

 

--

5


 

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

 

 

--

6


 

  in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,  

 

 

--

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 punished, 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 to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.  

 

 

--

12


 

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

 

 

--

13


 

  Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be enlarged.  

 

 

--

14


 

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

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

16


 

  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.'  

 

 

--

17


 

  Therefore, ''Come out from among them, And be separate,' says the Lord, 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.  

 

 

--

18


 

  I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty.'
