We <G3870> <G0000> then <G1161>, [as] workers together <G4903> <G5723> [with him], beseech <G3870> <G5719> [you] also <G2532> that ye <G5209> receive <G1209> <G5664> not <G3361> the grace <G5485> of God <G2316> in <G1519> vain <G2756>.

(For <G1063> he saith <G3004> <G5719>, I have heard <G1873> <G5656> thee <G4675> in a time <G2540> accepted <G1184>, and <G2532> in <G1722> the day <G2250> of salvation <G4991> have I succoured <G0997> <G5656> thee <G4671>: behold <G2400> <G5628>, now <G3568> [is] the accepted <G2144> time <G2540>; behold <G2400> <G5628>, now <G3568> [is] the day <G2250> of salvation <G4991>.)
3
Giving <G1325> <G5723> no <G3367> offence <G4349> in <G1722> any thing <G3367>, that <G2443> the ministry <G1248> be <G3469> <G0000> not <G3363> blamed <G3469> <G5686>:
4
But <G0235> in <G1722> all <G3956> [things] approving <G4921> <G5723> ourselves <G1438> as <G5613> the ministers <G1249> of God <G2316>, in <G1722> much <G4183> patience <G5281>, in <G1722> afflictions <G2347>, in <G1722> necessities <G0318>, in <G1722> distresses <G4730>,
5
In <G1722> stripes <G4127>, in <G1722> imprisonments <G5438>, in <G1722> tumults <G0181>, in <G1722> labours <G2873>, in <G1722> watchings <G0070>, in <G1722> fastings <G3521>;
6
By <G1722> pureness <G0054>, by <G1722> knowledge <G1108>, by <G1722> longsuffering <G3115>, by <G1722> kindness <G5544>, by <G1722> the Holy <G0040> Ghost <G4151>, by <G1722> love <G0026> unfeigned <G0505>,
7
By <G1722> the word <G3056> of truth <G0225>, by <G1722> the power <G1411> of God <G2316>, by <G1223> the armour <G3696> of righteousness <G1343> on the right hand <G1188> and <G2532> on the left <G0710>,
8
By <G1223> honour <G1391> and <G2532> dishonour <G0819>, by <G1223> evil report <G1426> and <G2532> good report <G2162>: as <G5613> deceivers <G4108>, and <G2532> [yet] true <G0227>;
9
As <G5613> unknown <G0050> <G5746>, and <G2532> [yet] well known <G1921> <G5746>; as <G5613> dying <G0599> <G5723>, and <G2532>, behold <G2400> <G5628>, we live <G2198> <G5719>; as <G5613> chastened <G3811> <G5746>, and <G2532> not <G3361> killed <G2289> <G5746>;
10
As <G5613> sorrowful <G3076> <G5746>, yet <G1161> alway <G0104> rejoicing <G5463> <G5723>; as <G5613> poor <G4434>, yet <G1161> making <G4148> <G0000> many <G4183> rich <G4148> <G5723>; as <G5613> having <G2192> <G5723> nothing <G3367>, and <G2532> [yet] possessing <G2722> <G5723> all things <G3956>.
11
O [ye] Corinthians <G2881>, our <G2257> mouth <G4750> is open <G0455> <G5754> unto <G4314> you <G5209>, our <G2257> heart <G2588> is enlarged <G4115> <G5769>.
12
Ye are <G4729> <G0000> not <G3756> straitened <G4729> <G5743> in <G1722> us <G2254>, but <G1161> ye are straitened <G4729> <G5743> in <G1722> your own <G5216> bowels <G4698>.
13
Now <G1161> for a recompence <G0489> in the same <G0846>, (I speak <G3004> <G5719> as <G5613> unto [my] children <G5043>,) be <G4115> <G0000> ye <G5210> also <G2532> enlarged <G4115> <G5682>.
14
Be ye <G1096> <G5737> not <G3361> unequally yoked together <G2086> <G5723> with unbelievers <G0571>: for <G1063> what <G5101> fellowship <G3352> hath righteousness <G1343> with <G2532> unrighteousness <G0458>? and <G1161> what <G5101> communion <G2842> hath light <G5457> with <G4314> darkness <G4655>?
15
And <G1161> what <G5101> concord <G4857> hath Christ <G5547> with <G4314> Belial <G0955>? or <G2228> what <G5101> part <G3310> hath he that believeth <G4103> with <G3326> an infidel <G0571>?
16
And <G1161> what <G5101> agreement <G4783> hath the temple <G3485> of God <G2316> with <G3326> idols <G1497>? for <G1063> ye <G5210> are <G2075> <G5748> the temple <G3485> of the living <G2198> <G5723> God <G2316>; as <G2531> God <G2316> hath said <G2036> <G5627>, <G3754> I will dwell <G1774> <G5692> in <G1722> them <G0846>, and <G2532> walk in <G1704> <G5692> [them]; and <G2532> I will be <G2071> <G5704> their <G0846> God <G2316>, and <G2532> they <G0846> shall be <G2071> <G5704> my <G3427> people <G2992>.
17
Wherefore <G1352> come out <G1831> <G5628> from <G1537> among <G3319> them <G0846>, and <G2532> be ye separate <G0873> <G5682>, saith <G3004> <G5719> the Lord <G2962>, and <G2532> touch <G0680> <G5732> not <G3361> the unclean <G0169> [thing]; and <G2504> I will receive <G1523> <G5695> you <G5209>,
18
And <G2532> will be <G2071> <G5704> <G1519> a Father <G3962> unto you <G5213>, and <G2532> ye <G5210> shall be <G2071> <G5704> my <G3427> sons <G5207> <G1519> and <G2532> daughters <G2364>, saith <G3004> <G5719> the Lord <G2962> Almighty <G3841>.
