¹ And working together also we call upon [you] 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 [is] 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 [own] bowels,¹³ and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it],) be ye enlarged -- also ye!¹⁴ Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] 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 [them], 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.'
