  • 2 Cor 6:4-9 : 4 Instead, in everything we commend ourselves as God’s servants: in great endurance, in sufferings, in hardships, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in sleepless nights, in hunger; 6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love; 7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left; 8 through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as deceivers, yet truthful; 9 as unknown, yet well-known; as dying, yet behold, we live; as disciplined, but not put to death; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything. 11 We have spoken openly to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. 12 You are not limited by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. 13 Now in return—I speak as to children—open your heart wide as well. 14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
