Bible. Corinthians, 2nd
006:008 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report;
as deceivers, and yet true;
006:009 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live;
as punished, and not killed;
006:010 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich;
as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
006:011 Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged.
006:012 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by
your own affections.
006:013 Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide.
006:014 Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship
have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has
light with darkness?
006:015 What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has
a believer with an unbeliever?
006:016 What agreement has a temple of God with idols?
For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said,
"I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be
their God, and they will be my people."{Leviticus 26:12;
Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27}
006:017 Therefore, "'Come out from among them, and be separate,'
says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive
you.{Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41}
006:018 I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,'
says the Lord Almighty."{2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8}
007:001 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness
in the fear of God.
007:002 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one.
We took advantage of no one.
007:003 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before,
that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
007:004 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my
boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort.
I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
007:005 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief,
but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside.
Fear was inside.
007:006 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us
by the coming of Titus;
007:007 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which
he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing,
your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
007:008 For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it,
though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry,
though just for a while.
007:009 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made
sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way,
that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
007:010 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings
no regret.
