61And working together [with him] we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain+2( for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee:
behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation):+3giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;+4but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,+5in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;+6in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,+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 chastened, 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 unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.+12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.+13Now for a recompense in like kind ( I speak as unto [my] children), be ye also enlarged.+
Do Not Be Unequally Yoked
14Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?+15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?+16And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we 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 shall be my people.+17Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate,
the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,+18And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters,
the Lord Almighty.+
