2 corinthians 6 (NMV)
1 Working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
2 For He says: "At a favorable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." Look, now is the favorable time; now is the day of salvation!
3 We are giving no cause for offense in anything, so that our ministry will not be blamed.
4 Instead, as God's servants, we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance, in pressure and suffering, in hardships, in distress,
5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in hard work, in sleepless nights, in times of hunger,
6 by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by strength restrained in obedience to God, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,
7 by the word of truth, by the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8 through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as deceivers and yet true;
9 as unknown yet well known; as dying, yet look, we live; as disciplined, yet not put to death;
10 as grieving, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken openly to you, Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide.
12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.
13 Now in return, I speak as to my children, open your hearts wide also.
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between being made right with God and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said:
17 Therefore, "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch anything unclean, and I will welcome you."
18 "And I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to Me," says the Lord Almighty.
