9as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;
9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

11Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.
11O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;
12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let your heart also expand itself.
13Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
14Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?

15and what consent of Christ with Beliar, or what part for a believer along with an unbeliever?

16and what agreement ofGod's temple with idols? for ye are [the] livingGod's temple; according asGod has said, I will dwell among them, and walk among [them]; and I will be theirGod, and they shall be to me a people.
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
