1 We then, note as fellow-labourers, do also exhort you, not to
receive the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, note note I have heard thee
in an acceptable time, and in a day of salvation have I succoured thee.
Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving note no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed, But
in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, note
4 in much patience,
-- --
in afflictions,
5 in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments,
in tumults, note in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By purity, by
prudence, note by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love
unfeigned,
7 By the note word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour
of righteousness on the right-hand and the left:
8 Through honour and
dishonour, note through evil report and good report; as deceivers, yet true,
As unknown, note yet well-known;
9 as dying, yet behold we live; as chastened,
yet not killed;
10 As sorrowing, note yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making
many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is opened toward you, our heart is inlarged. note
12 Ye are not straitened in us; note but ye are straitened in your own
bowels.
13 Now for a recompence of the same, note (I speak as to my children)
be ye also inlarged.
14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; note
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? or what
-- --
communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ note
with Belial? or what part hath a believer with an infidel?
16 And what
agreement hath the temple of God with idols? note Now ye are the temple
of the living God, as God hath said, note I will dwell in them, and walk
in them, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
17 Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch
not the unclean person, note saith the Lord, and I will receive you, And
will be to you a Father, and ye shall be to me sons and daughters, note saith
the Lord Almighty.
