2 Corinthians 6 — WBMS
6Verse 1But we helping [you in work and word] admonish [you], that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.Verse 2For he saith, In time well-pleasing I have heard thee, and in the day of health, I have helped thee. Lo! now a time acceptable, lo! now a day of health.Verse 3Give we to no man any offence, [or hurting], that our service [or ministry] be not reproved;Verse 4but in all things give we us-selves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in anguishes,Verse 5in beatings, [or scourgings], in prisons, in dissensions within, in travails, in wakings, in fastings,Verse 6in chastity, in knowing [or in science], in long abiding, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity not feigned,Verse 7in the word of truth, in the virtue of God; by armours or arms of rightwiseness on the right half and on the left half;Verse 8by glory and unnobleness; by evil fame and good fame; as deceivers, and true men;Verse 9as they that be unknown and known; as men dying, and lo! we live; as chastised, and not made dead;Verse 10as sorrowful, and evermore joying [or but evermore joying]; as having need, but making many men rich; as nothing having, and wielding all things.Verse 11A! ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is alarged;Verse 12ye be not anguished in us, but ye be anguished in your inwardnesses [or in your entrails].Verse 13And I say as to sons, ye that have the same reward, be ye alarged.Verse 14Do not ye bear the yoke with unfaithful men. For what parting, [or communing], of rightwiseness with wickedness? or what fellowship of light to darknesses?Verse 15and what according of Christ to Belial? or what part of a faithful [man] with the unfaithful, [or heathen]?Verse 16and what consent to the temple of God with maumets? [or idols?] And ye be the temple of the living God, as the Lord saith, For I shall dwell in them, and I shall walk among them; and I shall be [the] God of them, and they shall be a people to me.Verse 17For which thing go ye out of the middle of them, and be ye separated, saith the Lord, and touch not unclean thing; and I shall receive you,Verse 18and I shall be to you into a Father, and ye shall be to me into sons and daughters, saith the Lord almighty.
