The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians 6
1
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2
(For he saith,
I have heard thee in a time accepted,
and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: Is. 49.8
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3
Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4
but in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5
in stripes, in imprisonments, Acts 16.23 in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; 6
by pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7
by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8
by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10
as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 11
¶ O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 12
Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 13
Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. Ye Are the Temple of the Living God 14
¶ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15
And what concord hath Christ with Be'li-al? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; 1 Cor. 3.16 ; 6.19 as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people. Lev. 26.12 · Ezek. 37.27
17
Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate,
saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing; Is. 52.11
and I will receive you,
18
and will be a Father unto you,
