2 Corinthians 6:4-14
New King James Version
4 But in all things we commend ourselves (A)as ministers of God: in much [a]patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 (B)in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by [b]sincere love, 7 (C)by the word of truth, by (D)the power of God, by (E)the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; 9 as unknown, and (F)yet well known; (G)as dying, and behold we live; (H)as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many (I)rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Be Holy
11 O Corinthians! [c]We have spoken openly to you, (J)our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but (K)you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (L)(I speak as to children), you also be open.
14 (M)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For (N)what [d]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [e]communion has light with darkness?
