1As co-workers, however, we also beseech, that, not in vain, the favour of God, ye welcome; 2For he saith—In an approved season, have I hearkened unto thee, and, in a day of salvation, have succoured thee;—Lo! now, a well-approved season, Lo! now, a day of salvation: 3Giving, no single, occasion of stumbling, in anything, that the ministry be not blamed; 4But, in everything, commending ourselves as God’s ministers,—in much endurance, in tribulations, in necessities, in straits, 5in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toilings, in watchings, in fastings, 6in sanctity, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in graciousness, in Holy Spirit, 7in love unfeigned, in discourse of truth, in power of God; through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and left, 8through glory and dishonour, through bad report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true, 9as unknown, and yet well-known, as dying, and lo! we live, as disciplined, and yet not put to death, 10as grieving, yet, ever, rejoicing, as destitute, yet making, many, rich, as holding, nothing, and yet firmly holding, all things. 11 Our mouth, is opened unto you, O Corinthians! our heart, hath become enlarged: 12Ye are not straitened in us, but are straitened in your hearts’ affections; 13Howbeit, by way of the like recompense—as, unto children, I speak, be enlarged, even, ye. 14Be not getting diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Beliar? Or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever? 16And what agreement hath a shrine of God with idols? For, we, are [the] shrine of a God, that liveth:—even as God hath said—will dwell in them, and walk, and will be their God, and, they, shall be my people. 17Wherefore come ye forth out of their midst, and be separated,—saith [the] Lord,—and, one impure, do not touch; and, I, will give you welcome, 18And will become your Father, and, ye, shall become my sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.
