# 2 Corinthians 6 [[2 Cor-05|← 2 Corinthians 05]] | [[2 Corinthians]] | [[2 Cor-07|2 Corinthians 07 →]] *** ###### v1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain, ###### v2 for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you. In a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. ###### v3 We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed, ###### v4 but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, ###### v5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings; ###### v6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love, ###### v7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, ###### v8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; ###### v9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed; ###### v10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. ###### v11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged. ###### v12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. ###### v13 Now in return, I speak as to my children: you also open your hearts. ###### v14 Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? ###### v15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever? ###### v16 What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people." ###### v17 Therefore "'Come out from among them, and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. ###### v18 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty." *** [[2 Cor-05|← 2 Corinthians 05]] | [[2 Corinthians]] | [[2 Cor-07|2 Corinthians 07 →]]
