2 Corinthians 6:1-13 ▼

1 We also as helpers exhorte you, that ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne.

2 For he saith: I haue heard thee in a tyme accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I suckoured thee. Beholde, nowe is that accepted tyme, beholde nowe is that day of saluation:

3 Let vs geue none occasion of euyll in any thyng, that the ministerie be not blamed:

4 But in all thynges let vs behaue our selues as ye ministers of God, in much pacience, in afflictions, in necessities, in anguisshes,

5 In stripes, in prisonmentes, in strifes, in labours,

6 In watchynges, in fastinges, in purenesse, in knowledge, in long suffryng, in kyndnesse, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfaigned:

7 In the worde of trueth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousnes, of the ryght hande and on the lefte,

8 By honour and dishonour, by euyll report and good report, as deceauers and yet true,

9 As vnknowen, and yet knowen, as dying, and beholde we lyue, as chastened, and not kylled,

10 As sorowyng, and yet alway merie: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauyng nothyng, and yet possessyng all thynges.

11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you, our heart is made large:

12 Ye are in no strayte in vs, but are in a straite in your owne bowels.

13 I promise you lyke rewarde as vnto children: Set your selues at large,
