          DASV: 2 Corinthians 6    

1 Now as God's co-workers we urge you not to receive the grace
of God in vain
2 For he says,
"At an acceptable time I listened to you,
and in a day of salvation I helped you."
Look, now is the acceptable time. Look, now is the day of
salvation.
3 We are not giving anyone an occasion of stumbling in
anything, so that our ministry might not be criticized.
4 But as God's servants we commend ourselves in everything,
with much endurance, in persecutions, in hardships,
in distresses,
5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in grueling
labors, in sleepless nights, in hunger;
6 by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by
the Holy Spirit, by genuine love,
7 by the word of truth, by the power of God; by the weapons
of righteousness for the right hand and for the left,
8 through honor and shame, through berating and good report;
treated as impostors and yet true;
9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and look, we
are still alive; as punished, and yet not killed;
10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making
many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken candidly to you, Corinthians; our heart
is wide open.
12 You were not restricted in your access to our affection,
but you were the ones who restricted your own affections.
13 Now for a fair exchange, I speak as to children: open
your hearts to us also.
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what
partnership do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what
camaraderie does light have with darkness?
15 What agreement does Christ share with Belial? Or what
does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we
are a temple of the living God; just as God said,
     "I will live in them,
           and walk among them;
     and I will be their God,
           and they will be my people."
17 "Therefore come out from among them,
           and be separate, says the Lord;
     do not touch anything unclean,
           and I will receive you."
18 "I will be a Father to you,
           and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty."
