2 Corinthians 6

¹ Now, working together, we are also entreating you not to receive the grace of God for naught. ² For He is saying, "In a season acceptable I reply to you, And in a day of salvation I help you. Lo! Now is a most acceptable era! Lo! Now is a day of salvation!" ³ We are giving no one cause to stumble in anything, lest flaws be found with the service, ⁴ but in everything we are commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, ⁵ in blows, in jails, in turbulences, in toil, in vigils, in fasts, ⁶ in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in holy spirit, in love unfeigned, ⁷ in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the implements of righteousness of the right hand and of the left, ⁸ through glory and dishonor, through defamation and renown, as deceivers and true, ⁹ as unknown and recognized, as dying, and lo! we are living, as disciplined and not put to death, ¹⁰ as sorrowing, yet ever rejoicing, as poor, yet enriching many, as having nothing, and retaining all. ¹¹ Our mouth is open toward you, Corinthians: Has your heart broadened? ¹² Not distressed are you in us, yet you are distressed in your compassions. ¹³ Now, as a recompense in kind (as to children am I saying this), you also be broadened! ¹⁴ Do not become diversely yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ Now what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ Now what concurrence has a temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, according as God said, that I will be making My home and will be walking in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, Come out of their midst and be severed, the Lord is saying. And touch not the unclean, and I will admit you, ¹⁸ and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.
