We
then,
[as]
workers
together
[with
him],
beseech
[you]
also
that
ye
receive
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vain.

(For
he
saith,
I
have
heard
thee
in
a
time
accepted,
and
in
the
day
of
salvation
have
I
succoured
thee:
behold,
now
[is]
the
accepted
time;
behold,
now
[is]
the
day
of
salvation.)
3
Giving
no
offence
in
any
thing,
that
the
ministry
be
not
blamed:
4
But
in
all
[things]
approving
ourselves
as
the
ministers
of
God,
in
much
patience,
in
afflictions,
in
necessities,
in
distresses,
5
In
stripes,
in
imprisonments,
in
tumults,
in
labours,
in
watchings,
in
fastings;
6
By
pureness,
by
knowledge,
by
longsuffering,
by
kindness,
by
the
Holy
Ghost,
by
love
unfeigned,
7
By
the
word
of
truth,
by
the
power
of
God,
by
the
armour
of
righteousness
on
the
right
hand
and
on
the
left,
8
By
honour
and
dishonour,
by
evil
report
and
good
report:
as
deceivers,
and
[yet]
true;
9
As
unknown,
and
[yet]
well
known;
as
dying,
and,
behold,
we
live;
as
chastened,
and
not
killed;
10
As
sorrowful,
yet
alway
rejoicing;
as
poor,
yet
making
many
rich;
as
having
nothing,
and
[yet]
possessing
all
things.
11
O
[ye]
Corinthians,
our
mouth
is
open
unto
you,
our
heart
is
enlarged.
12
Ye
are
not
straitened
in
us,
but
ye
are
straitened
in
your
own
bowels.
13
Now
for
a
recompence
in
the
same,
(I
speak
as
unto
[my]
children,)
be
ye
also
enlarged.
14
Be
ye
not
unequally
yoked
together
with
unbelievers:
for
what
fellowship
hath
righteousness
with
unrighteousness?
and
what
communion
hath
light
with
darkness?
15
And
what
concord
hath
Christ
with
Belial?
or
what
part
hath
he
that
believeth
with
an
infidel?
16
And
what
agreement
hath
the
temple
of
God
with
idols?
for
ye
are
the
temple
of
the
living
God;
as
God
hath
said,
I
will
dwell
in
them,
and
walk
in
[them];
and
I
will
be
their
God,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
17
Wherefore
come
out
from
among
them,
and
be
ye
separate,
saith
the
Lord,
and
touch
not
the
unclean
[thing];
and
I
will
receive
you,
18
And
will
be
a
Father
unto
you,
and
ye
shall
be
my
sons
and
daughters,
saith
the
Lord
Almighty.
