2nd Corinthians哥林多后书_2Co_06

1As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.

2For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation¹ I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

3We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry² will not be discredited³.

4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses⁴;

5in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless⁵ nights and hunger;

6in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;

7in truthful⁶ speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;

8through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;

9known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;

10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

11We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.

12We are not withholding⁷ our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.

13As a fair exchange--I speak as to my children--open wide your hearts also.

14Do not be yoked⁸ together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols⁹? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their Go17"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."

18"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty¹⁰."
