**1 **We then, *as* workers together *with him*, beseech *you* also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

**2 **(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now *is* the accepted time; behold, now *is* the day of salvation.)

**3 **Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: **4 **But in all *things* approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, **5 **In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; **6 **By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, **7 **By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, **8 **By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and *yet* true; **9 **As unknown, and *yet* well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; **10 **As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and *yet* possessing all things.

**11 **O *ye* Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. **12 **Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. **13 **Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto *my* children,) be ye also enlarged.

**14 **Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? **15 **And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

**16 **And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in *them*; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

**17 **Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean *thing*; and I will receive you,

**18 **And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
