47:005:020 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 47:005:021 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 47:006:001 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 47:006:002 (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.) 47:006:003 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 47:006:004 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 47:006:005 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 47:006:006 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 47:006:007 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 47:006:008 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 47:006:009 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 47:006:010 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 47:006:011 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 47:006:012 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 47:006:013 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. 47:006:014 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 47:006:015 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 47:006:016 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. 47:006:017 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 47:006:018 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 47:007:001 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
