2Corinthians - Chapter 6 | American Standard Version

  • 1. And working together {cf15i 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):
  • 3. giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;
  • 4. but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
  • 5. in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
  • 6. in pureness, in knowledge, in long suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
  • 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 {cf15i yet} true;
  • 9. as unknown, and {cf15i yet} well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
  • 10. as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and {cf15i yet} possessing all things.
  • 11. Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
  • 12. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.
  • 13. Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto {cf15i my} children), be ye also enlarged.
  • 14. Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?
  • 15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?
  • 16. And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we 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.
  • 17. Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
  • 18. And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
