Corinthians (The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the )

But working together, we also call on you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

For He says, "In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now [is] the acceptable time! Behold, now [is] the day of salvation!

[We are] not giving a cause of stumbling, in nothing, that the ministry may not be blamed,

but in everything commending ourselves as God's servants, in much patience, in afflictions, in emergencies, in difficulties,

in stripes, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,

in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unfeigned love,

in [the] word of truth, in [the] power of God, through the weapons of righteousness on the right [hand] and on the left,

through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and [yet] true;

as unknown, and [yet] well known, as dying, and [yet], look, we live; as flogged, and [yet] not put to death;

as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.

Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart has been made larger.

You are not restrained in us, but you are restrained in your own bowels.

But for the same reward, (I speak as to children), you also be made larger.

Do not be unequally yoked [with] unbelievers. For what partnership does righteousness [have] with lawlessness? And what fellowship does light [have] with darkness?

And what agreement does Christ [have] with Belial? Or what part does a believer [have] with an unbeliever?

Because of this, "come out from among them" "and be separated," says [the] Lord, "and do not touch [the] unclean thing," and I will receive you.

"And I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons" and daughters to Me, says [the] Lord Almighty.
