And{G1161} working together{G4903} [with him] we entreat{G3870} also{G2532} that ye{G5209} receive{G1209} not{G3361} the grace{G5485} of God{G2316} in{G1519} vain{G2756}

(for{G1063} he saith,{G3004} At an acceptable{G1184} time{G2540} I hearkened{G1873} unto thee,{G4675} And{G2532} in{G1722} a day{G2250} of salvation{G4991} did I succor{G997} thee:{G4671} behold,{G2400} now{G3568} is the acceptable{G2144} time;{G2540} behold,{G2400} now{G3568} is the day{G2250} of salvation):{G4991}

giving{G1325} no{G3367} occasion of stumbling{G4349} in{G1722} anything,{G3367} that{G2443} our ministration{G1248} be{G3469} not{G3361} blamed;{G3469}

but{G235} in{G1722} everything{G3956} commending{G4921} ourselves,{G1438} as{G5613} ministers{G1249} of God,{G2316} in{G1722} much{G4183} patience,{G5281} in{G1722} afflictions,{G2347} in{G1722} necessities,{G318} in{G1722} distresses,{G4730}

in{G1722} stripes,{G4127} in{G1722} imprisonments,{G5438} in{G1722} tumults,{G181} in{G1722} labors,{G2873} in{G1722} watchings,{G70} in{G1722} fastings;{G3521}

in{G1722} pureness,{G54} in{G1722} knowledge,{G1108} in{G1722} long suffering,{G3115} in{G1722} kindness,{G5544} in{G1722} the Holy{G40} Spirit,{G4151} in{G1722} love{G26} unfeigned,{G505}

in{G1722} the word{G3056} of truth,{G225} in{G1722} the power{G1411} of God;{G2316} by{G1223} the armor{G3696} of righteousness{G1343} on the right hand{G1188} and{G2532} on the left,{G710}

by{G1223} glory{G1391} and{G2532} dishonor,{G819} by{G1223} evil report{G1426} and{G2532} good report;{G2162} as{G5613} deceivers,{G4108} and{G2532} [yet] true;{G227}

as{G5613} unknown,{G50} and{G2532} [yet] well known;{G1921} as{G5613} dying,{G599} and{G2532} behold,{G2400} we live;{G2198} as{G5613} chastened,{G3811} and{G2532} not{G3361} killed;{G2289}

as{G5613} sorrowful,{G3076} yet{G1161} always{G104} rejoicing;{G5463} as{G5613} poor,{G4434} yet{G1161} making{G4148} many{G4183} rich;{G4148} as{G5613} having{G2192} nothing,{G3367} and{G2532} [yet] possessing{G2722} all things.{G3956}

Our{G2257} mouth{G4750} is open{G455} unto{G4314} you,{G5209} O Corinthians,{G2881} our{G2257} heart{G2588} is enlarged.{G4115}

Ye are{G4729} not{G3756} straitened{G4729} in{G1722} us,{G2254} but{G1161} ye are straitened{G4729} in{G1722} your own{G5216} affections.{G4698}

Now{G1161} for a recompense{G489} in like kind{G846} (I speak{G3004} as unto{G5613} [my] children),{G5043} be{G4115} ye{G5210} also{G2532} enlarged.{G4115}

Be{G1096} not{G3361} unequally yoked{G2086} with unbelievers:{G571} for{G1063} what{G5101} fellowship{G3352} have righteousness{G1343} and{G1161} iniquity?{G458} or{G1161} what{G5101} communion{G2842} hath light{G5457} with{G2532} darkness?{G4655}

And{G1161} what{G5101} concord{G4857} hath Christ{G5547} with{G4314} Belial?{G955} or{G2228} what{G5101} portion{G3310} hath a believer{G4103} with{G3326} an unbeliever?{G571}

And{G1161} what{G5101} agreement{G4783} hath a temple{G3485} of God{G2316} with{G3326} idols?{G1497} for{G1063} we{G5210} are{G2075} a temple{G3485} of the living{G2198} God;{G2316} even as{G2531} God{G2316} said,{G3754} I will dwell{G1774} in{G1722} them,{G846} and{G2532} walk in{G1704} them; and{G2532} I will be{G2071} their{G846} God,{G2316} and{G2532} they{G846} shall be{G2071} my{G3427} people.{G2992}

Wherefore{G1352} Come ye out{G1831} from{G1537} among{G3319} them,{G846} and{G2532} be ye separate,{G873} saith{G3004} the Lord,{G2962} And{G2532} touch{G680} no unclean{G169} thing; And{G2532} I{G2504} will receive{G1523} you,{G5209}

And{G2532} will be{G2071} to{G1519} you{G5213} a Father,{G3962} And{G2532} ye{G5210} shall be{G2071} to{G1519} me{G3427} sons{G5207} and{G2532} daughters,{G2364} saith{G3004} the Lord{G2962} Almighty.{G3841}
