2 For He says:
a“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

3 aWe give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.
4 But in all things we commend ourselves aas ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,
5 ain stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;
6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by1 sincere love,
7 aby the word of truth, by bthe power of God, by cthe armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
9 as unknown, and ayet well known; bas dying, and behold we live; cas chastened, and yet not killed;
10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many arich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Be Holy
11 O Corinthians!1 We have spoken openly to you, aour heart is wide open.
12 You are not restricted by us, but ayou are restricted by your own affections.
13 Now in return for the same a(I speak as to children), you also be open.
14 aDo not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For bwhat fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what2 communion has light with darkness?
15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ayou are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
b“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
b“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
a“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
a“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
