2 (For he saith: In time accepted have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I holpen thee. Behold, now is the time acceptable: behold now the day of salvation.)📜💬📚

3 to no man giving any offence, that our ministry be not blamed:📜💬📚

4 but in all things let us exhibit our selves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,📜💬📚

5 in stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,📜💬📚

6 in chastity, in knowledge, in longanimity, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity not feigned,📜💬📚

7 in the word of truth, in the virtue of God; by the armour of justice on the right hand, and on the left,📜💬📚

8 by honour and dishonour, by infamy and good fame: as seducers, and true: as they that are unknown, and known:📜💬📚

9 as dying, and behold we live: as chastened, & not killed:📜💬📚

10 as sorrowful, but always rejoicing: as needy, but enriching many: as having nothing, and possessing all things.📜💬📚

11 Our mouth is open to you, o Corinthians, our heart is dilated.📜💬📚

12 You are not straitened in us: but in your own bowels you are straitened.📜💬📚

13 But having the same reward (I speak as to my children) be you also dilated.📜💬📚

Do Not Bear Yoke with Unbelievers

14 Bear not the yoke with infidels. For what participation hath justice with iniquity? or what society is there between light and darkness?📜💬📚

15 And what agreement with Christ and Belial? or what part hath the faithful with the infidel?📜💬📚

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith, That I will dwell, and walk in them, and will be their God; and they shall be my people.📜💬📚

17 For the which cause, Go out of the midst of them, and separate your selves, saith our Lord, and touch not the unclean: and I will receive you.📜💬📚

18 and I will be a father to you: and you shall be my sons & daughters, saith our Lord omnipotent.📜💬📚
