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