61Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,+2for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you,in a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.+3We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,+4but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,+5in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;+6in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,+7in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,+8by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;+9as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;+10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.+11Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.+12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.+13Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also open your hearts.+
Do Not Be Unequally Yoked
14Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?+15What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?+16What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”+17Therefore “‘Come out from among them,and be separate,’ says the Lord.‘Touch no unclean thing.I will receive you.+18I will be to you a Father.You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”+
