61And working together also we call upon you that ye receive not in vain the grace of God--+2for 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,' --+3in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,+4but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,+5in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,+6in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,+7in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,+8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;+9as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;+10as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.+11Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!+12ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your own bowels,+13and as a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say it,) be ye enlarged--also ye!+
Do Not Be Unequally Yoked
14Become not yoked with others--unbelievers, for what partaking is there to righteousness and lawlessness?+15and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?+16and 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,+17wherefore, 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,+18and I will be to you for a Father, and ye--ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'+
