2 Corinthians 6
6
1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain. 2For he says,
“At an acceptable time I listened to you.
In a day of salvation I helped you.”#Isaiah 49:8
Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. 3We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed, 4but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, 6in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love, 7in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true, 9as unknown and yet well known, as dying and behold—we live, as punished and not killed, 10as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
11 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged. 12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.
14Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what portion does a believer have with an unbeliever? 16What 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.”#Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27 17Therefore
“‘Come out from amongst them,
and be separate,’ says the Lord.
‘Touch no unclean thing.
I will receive you.#Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41
18 I will be to you a Father.
You will be to me sons and daughters,’
says the Lord Almighty.”#2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8

2 Corinthians 6
6
1And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —
2for He saith, ‘In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,’ —
3in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,
4but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,
5in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,
6in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,
7in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;
9as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;
10as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!
12ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,
13and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it],) be ye enlarged — also ye!
14Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?
15and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
16and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — ‘I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,
17wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,
18and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.’
