| The Book of 2nd Corinthians 6 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:1 | And you also we, as God's fellow workers, entreat not to be found to have received His grace to no purpose. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:2 | For He says, "At a time of welcome I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have succoured you." Now is the time of loving welcome! Now is the day of salvation! | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:3 | We endeavour to give people no cause for stumbling in anything, lest the work we are doing should fall into discredit. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:4 | On the contrary, as God's servants, we seek their full approval by unwearied endurance, by afflictions, by distress, by helplessness; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:5 | by floggings, by imprisonments; by facing riots, by toil, by sleepless watching, by hunger and thirst; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:6 | by purity of life, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:7 | by the proclamation of the truth, by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, wielded in both hands; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:8 | through honour and ignominy, through calumny and praise. We are looked upon as impostors and yet are true men; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:9 | as obscure persons, and yet are well known; as on the point of death, and yet, strange to tell, we live; as under God's discipline, and yet we are not deprived of life; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:10 | as sad, but we are always joyful; as poor, but we bestow wealth on many; as having nothing, and yet we securely possess all things. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:11 | O Corinthians, our lips are unsealed to you: our heart is expanded. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:12 | There is no narrowness in our love to you: the narrowness is in your own feelings. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:13 | And in just requital I speak as to my children let your hearts expand also. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:14 | Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness? | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:15 | Where can harmony between Christ and Belial be found? Or what participation has a believer with an unbeliever? | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:16 | And what compact has the Temple of God with idols? For *we* are the Temple of the ever-living God; as God has said, "I will dwell among them, and walk about among them; and will be their God, and it is they who shall be My people." | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:17 | Therefore, "`Come out from among them and separate yourselves,' says the Lord, `and touch nothing impure; and I will receive you, and will be a Father to you, | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Corinthians 6:18 | and you shall be My sons and daughters,' says the Lord the Ruler of all." | |||||||||||||||
