2 Corinthians 6

And working together with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

(for he saith,

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.

Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.

Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?

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.

Wherefore

And will be to you a Father,
