2 Corinthians 6 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Commendable Ministers of God

And working^G4903 together^G4903 with Him, we also^G2532 plead^G3870 with you not to receive^G1209 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 in vain^G2756—

2Co 6:2

2Co 6:2for He says,

“AT THE ACCEPTABLE^G1184 TIME^G2540 I LISTENED^G1873 TO^G1873 YOU,

AND ON THE DAY^G2250 OF SALVATION^G4991 I HELPED^G997 YOU.”

Behold^G2400, now^G3568 is “THE ACCEPTABLE^G2144 TIME^G2540,” behold^G2400, now^G3568 is “THE DAY^G2250 OF SALVATION^G4991”—

2Co 6:3

2Co 6:3giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

2Co 6:4

2Co 6:4but in everything commending ourselves as ministers of God, in much perseverance, in afflictions, in distresses, in hardships,

2Co 6:5

2Co 6:5in beatings, in imprisonments, in disturbances, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

2Co 6:6

2Co 6:6in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unhypocritical love,

2Co 6:7

2Co 6:7in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

2Co 6:8

2Co 6:8by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;

2Co 6:9

2Co 6:9as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet behold, we live; as [fn]punished and yet not put to death,

2Co 6:10

2Co 6:10as sorrowful but always rejoicing, as poor but making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

2Co 6:11

Our mouth^G4750 [fn]has spoken^G455 freely^G455 to you, O Corinthians^G2881, our heart^G2588 is opened^G4115 wide^G4115.

2Co 6:12

2Co 6:12You are not restrained [fn]by us, but you are restrained in your own [fn]affections.

2Co 6:13

2Co 6:13Now in a like exchange—I speak as to children—open wide to us also.

2Co 6:14

Do not be unequally^G2086 yoked^G2086 with unbelievers^G571; for what^G5101 partnership^G3352 have righteousness^G1343 and lawlessness^G458, or^G2228 what^G5101 fellowship^G2842 has light^G5457 with darkness^G4655?

2Co 6:15

2Co 6:15Or what harmony has Christ with [fn]Belial, or [fn]what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

2Co 6:16

2Co 6:16Or what agreement has a [fn]sanctuary of God with idols? For we are a sanctuary of the living God; just as God said,

“I WILL DWELL^G1774 IN THEM AND WALK^G1704 AMONG^G1704 THEM;

AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD^G2316, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE^G2992.

2Co 6:17

“Therefore^G1352, COME^G1831 OUT FROM THEIR MIDST^G3319 AND BE SEPARATE^G873,” says^G3004 the [fn]Lord^G2962.

“AND DO NOT TOUCH^G681 WHAT IS UNCLEAN^G169,

And I will welcome^G1523 you.

2Co 6:18

“AND I WILL BE A FATHER^G3962 TO YOU,

And you shall be sons^G5207 and daughters^G2364 to Me,”

SAYS^G3004 THE [fn]LORD^G2962 ALMIGHTY^G3841.
