2 Corinthians 6:1-18 ASV14 - Bible AI

¹And 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):

³giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

⁴but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

⁵in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

⁶in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

⁷in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

⁸by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and [yet] true;

⁹as unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

¹⁰as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

¹¹Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

¹²Ye are not restricted in us, but ye are restricted in your own affections.

¹³Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto [my] children), be ye also enlarged.

¹⁴Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?

¹⁵And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?

¹⁶And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for ye 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.

¹⁷Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,

¹⁸And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith Yahweh Almighty.
