1
And working together [with him] we entreat also that you⁺ do not receive the grace of God in vain
2
(for he says, At an acceptable time I listened to you, And in a day of salvation I helped you: look, now is the acceptable time; look, now is the day of salvation):
3
giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service not be blamed;
4
but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5
in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fasts;
6
in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unfeigned 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 shame, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and [yet] true;
9
as unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and look, we live; as chastened, 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⁺, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
12
You⁺ are not straitened in us, but you⁺ are straitened in your⁺ own affections.
13
Now for a recompense in like kind--I speak as to [my] children--be⁺ also enlarged.
14
Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?
16
And what agreement has 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 will be my people.
17
Therefore Come⁺ out from among them, and be⁺ separate, says the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you⁺,
18
And will be to you⁺ a Father, And you⁺ will be to me sons and daughters, says Yahweh of hosts.
