We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.
We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,
in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;
beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love;
by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed;
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.
You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.
Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.
In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.
The Temple of the Living God
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
