2 Corinthians 6:8-18 ▼

8 through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report; as imposters yet true;

9 as being unknown yet being well-known; as dying, yet behold, we live; as being disciplined yet not being put to death;

10 as being sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing everything.

11 Our mouth has been open to you?, Corinthians; our heart has been enlarged.

12 You? are not restrained by us, but you? are restrained in your? own inner parts.

13 Now as the same recompense—I speak as to children—you? be enlarged also.

14 Do not become unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

15 And what harmony has Christ with Beliar? Or what part to a believer is with an unbeliever?

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them, and I will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

17 “Therefore come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you?.”

18 And: “I will be for a Father to you?, and you? will be for sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.”
