We{G3870} then{G1161}, as workers together{G4903}{(G5723)} with him, beseech{G3870}{(G5719)} you also{G2532} that ye{G5209} receive{G1209}{(G5664)} not{G3361} the grace{G5485} of God{G2316} in{G1519} vain{G2756}.

(For{G1063} he saith{G3004}{(G5719)}, I have heard{G1873}{(G5656)} thee{G4675} in a time{G2540} accepted{G1184}, and{G2532} in{G1722} the day{G2250} of salvation{G4991} have I succoured{G997}{(G5656)} thee{G4671}: behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, now{G3568} is the accepted{G2144} time{G2540}; behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, now{G3568} is the day{G2250} of salvation{G4991}.)

Giving{G1325}{(G5723)} no{G3367} offence{G4349} in{G1722} any thing{G3367}, that{G3363} the ministry{G1248} be{G3469} not{G3363} blamed{G3469}{(G5686)}:

But{G235} in{G1722} all{G3956} things approving{G4921}{(G5723)} ourselves{G1438} as{G5613} the 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} labours{G2873}, in{G1722} watchings{G70}, in{G1722} fastings{G3521};

By{G1722} pureness{G54}, by{G1722} knowledge{G1108}, by{G1722} longsuffering{G3115}, by{G1722} kindness{G5544}, by{G1722} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}, by{G1722} love{G26} unfeigned{G505},

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

By{G1223} honour{G1391} and{G2532} dishonour{G819}, by{G1223} evil report{G1426} and{G2532} good report{G2162}: as{G5613} deceivers{G4108}, and{G2532} yet true{G227};

As{G5613} unknown{G50}{(G5746)}, and{G2532} yet well known{G1921}{(G5746)}; as{G5613} dying{G599}{(G5723)}, and{G2532}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, we live{G2198}{(G5719)}; as{G5613} chastened{G3811}{(G5746)}, and{G2532} not{G3361} killed{G2289}{(G5746)};

As{G5613} sorrowful{G3076}{(G5746)}, yet{G1161} alway{G104} rejoicing{G5463}{(G5723)}; as{G5613} poor{G4434}, yet{G1161} making{G4148} many{G4183} rich{G4148}{(G5723)}; as{G5613} having{G2192}{(G5723)} nothing{G3367}, and{G2532} yet possessing{G2722}{(G5723)} all things{G3956}.

O ye Corinthians{G2881}, our{G2257} mouth{G4750} is open{G455}{(G5754)} unto{G4314} you{G5209}, our{G2257} heart{G2588} is enlarged{G4115}{(G5769)}.

Ye are{G4729} not{G3756} straitened{G4729}{(G5743)} in{G1722} us{G2254}, but{G1161} ye are straitened{G4729}{(G5743)} in{G1722} your own{G5216} bowels{G4698}.

Now{G1161} for a recompence{G489} in the same{G846},(I speak{G3004}{(G5719)} as{G5613} unto my children{G5043},) be{G4115} ye{G5210} also{G2532} enlarged{G4115}{(G5682)}.

Be ye{G1096}{(G5737)} not{G3361} unequally yoked together{G2086}{(G5723)} with unbelievers{G571}: for{G1063} what{G5101} fellowship{G3352} hath righteousness{G1343} with{G2532} unrighteousness{G458}? and{G1161} what{G5101} communion{G2842} hath light{G5457} with{G4314} darkness{G4655}?

And{G1161} what{G5101} concord{G4857} hath Christ{G5547} with{G4314} Belial{G955}? or{G2228} what{G5101} part{G3310} hath he that believeth{G4103} with{G3326} an infidel{G571}?

And{G1161} what{G5101} agreement{G4783} hath the temple{G3485} of God{G2316} with{G3326} idols{G1497}? for{G1063} ye{G5210} are{G2075}{(G5748)} the temple{G3485} of the living{G2198}{(G5723)} God{G2316}; as{G2531} God{G2316} hath said{G2036}{(G5627)},{G3754} I will dwell{G1774}{(G5692)} in{G1722} them{G846}, and{G2532} walk in{G1704}{(G5692)} them; and{G2532} I will be{G2071}{(G5704)} their{G846} God{G2316}, and{G2532} they{G846} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} my{G3427} people{G2992}.

Wherefore{G1352} come out{G1831}{(G5628)} from{G1537} among{G3319} them{G846}, and{G2532} be ye separate{G873}{(G5682)}, saith{G3004}{(G5719)} the Lord{G2962}, and{G2532} touch{G680}{(G5732)} not{G3361} the unclean{G169} thing; and{G2504} I will receive{G1523}{(G5695)} you{G5209},

And{G2532} will be{G2071}{(G5704)}{G1519} a Father{G3962} unto you{G5213}, and{G2532} ye{G5210} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} my{G3427} sons{G5207}{G1519} and{G2532} daughters{G2364}, saith{G3004}{(G5719)} the Lord{G2962} Almighty{G3841}.
