2 Corinthians Chapter 6

1And as co-workers we also exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain – 2for he says,

“At an acceptable time I heard you,

And on the day of salvation I helped you.”

Behold, the time is now most acceptable; behold, now is the day of salvation – 3not giving any offence in anything, so that the ministry is not faulted, 4but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, with much endurance in tribulations, in constrained circumstances, in hardships, 5in stricken circumstances, in imprisonments, in commotions, in toils, in sleeplessness, in fastings, 6in purity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in holy spirit, in unfeigned love, 7in the word of truth, in the power of God through the right and left hand armour of righteousness, 8through glory and dishonour, through defamations and acclamations, defamed as deceivers and acclaimed as tellers of the truth, 9as unrecognized and as recognized, as dying, but look, we are alive, as being chastised but not put to death, 10as grieving but always rejoicing, as poor but enriching many, as having nothing but possessing everything. 11Our communication stands open to you, you Corinthians; our heart stands wide open. 12You need not be under strain as far as we are concerned, but you are under strain in your feelings from your side. 13Show yourselves wide open as well – I speak as to children – so we have the same mutual benefit. 14Do not be disparately yoked to unbelievers, for what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? And what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15And what agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever? 16And what compatibility is there between the sanctuary of God and idols? For you are the sanctuary of the living God, as God has said,

“I will dwell among them

And walk among them,

And I will be their God,

And they will be my people.”

17So

“Go away from them

And be separate”,

Says the Lord,

“And do not touch anything unclean,

and I will receive you,

18And I will be a father to you,

And you will be sons and daughters to me”,

says the Lord Almighty.
