THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 6

Text size

1 We then as workers together with him beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain ⚑

2 For he saith I have heard thee in a time accepted and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee behold now is the accepted time behold now is the day of salvation ⚑

3 Giving no offence in any thing that the ministry be not blamed ⚑

4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God in much patience in afflictions in necessities in distresses ⚑

5 In stripes in imprisonments in tumults in labours in watchings in fastings ⚑

6 By pureness by knowledge by longsuffering by kindness by the Holy Ghost by love unfeigned ⚑

7 By the word of truth by the power of God by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left ⚑

8 By honour and dishonour 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 chastened and not killed ⚑

10 As sorrowful yet alway rejoicing as poor yet making many rich as having nothing and yet possessing all things ⚑

11 O ye Corinthians our mouth is open unto you our heart is enlarged ⚑

12 Ye are not straitened in us but ye are straitened in your own bowels ⚑

13 Now for a recompence in the same I speak as unto my children be ye also enlarged ⚑

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion hath light with darkness ⚑

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel ⚑

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols for ye are the temple of the living God as God hath 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 out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you ⚑

18 And will be a Father unto you and ye shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty ⚑
