Chapter 6 | |
1 | We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of ELOHIYM in vain. |
2 |
(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.) |
3 | Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: |
4 | But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of ELOHIYM, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, |
5 | In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; |
6 | By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, |
7 | By the word of truth, by the power of ELOHIYM, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, |
8 | By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; |
9 | As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; |
10 | As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. |
11 | O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. |
12 | Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. |
13 | Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. |
14 | Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? |
15 | And what concord hath MASHIYACH with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? |
16 | And what agreement hath the temple of YHVH with idols? for ye are the temple of the living EL; as hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their ELOHIYM, and they shall be my people. |
17 | Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith YHVH, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. |
18 | And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the EL SHADDAY. |
