Modern Literal Version
[2 Corinthians 6] 6:1 And working together with him, we also encourage you* that you* do not
accept the grace of God in vain; 6:2 (for* he says, НI heard you at an acceptable time and I helped
you in a day of salvation;М {Is. 49:8} behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day
of salvation), 6:3giving no one a stumbling block in anything, that* our service might not be
blamed. 6:4 But we arecommending ourselves in everything, as servants of God: in much
endurance, in afflictions, in calamities, in distresses, 6:5 in lashes, in prisons, in unrest, in labors,
in sleeplessness, in fasts; 6:6in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in
love* without hypocrisy, 6:7in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the weapon of
righteousness, of the right and of the left, 6:8 through glory and dishonor, through defamation and
good-repute; as misleaders andyet true; 6:9 as being ignorant and yet fully know; as dying and
behold, we live; as disciplined andyet not put to death; 6:10 as sorrowful, yet even habitually
rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet having all things.
6:11 Our mouth is open to you*, O Corinthians, our heart is widened. 6:12 You* are not distressed by us, but you* are distressed by your* own affections, 6:13 but the same as recompense, (I speak to you as to my children). You* also be widened in your* heart.
6:14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers; for* what partnership has righteousness
and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness? 6:15 And what agreement has
Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 6:16 And what alliance has a
temple of God with idols? For* you* are a temple of the living God; just-as God said, НI will
dwell in them and walk in them, and I will be their God and they will be a people to me.М 6:17
Hence НCome out from the midst of them and be separate*,М says the Lord, НAnd touch no
unclean thing, and I will accept you* 6:18 and will be a Father to you* and you* will be sons and
daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.М {Lev. 26:11-12; 2Sam. 7:7, 14; Is. 52:11; Jer. 32:38, 51:45;
Ezek. 20:34, 41, 37:27; Amos 4:13}
