1And working together also we call upon <FI>you<Fi> that ye receive not in vain the grace of God--

1But [as] fellow-workmen, we also beseech that ye receive not the grace ofGod in vain:

2for He saith, `In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now <FI>is<Fi> a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' --

2(for he says, I have listened to thee in an accepted time, and I have helped thee in a day of salvation: behold, now [is the] well-accepted time; behold, now [the] day of salvation:)

3in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,

3giving no manner of offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;

4but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

4but in everything commending ourselves asGod's ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,

5in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

5in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

6in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

6in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in [the] Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

7in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,

7in [the] word of truth, in [the] power ofGod; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,

8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;

8through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, and true;

9as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;

9as unknown, and well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined, and not put to death;

10as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

10as grieved, but always rejoicing; as poor, but enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

11Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!

11Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthians, our heart is expanded.

12ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your <FI>own<Fi> bowels,

12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your affections;

13and <FI>as<Fi> a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say <FI>it<Fi> ,) be ye enlarged--also ye!

13but for an answering recompense, (I speak as to children,) let your heart also expand itself.

14Become not yoked with others--unbelievers, for what partaking <FI>is there<Fi> to righteousness and lawlessness?

14Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation [is there] between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?

15and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?

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

16and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said--`I will dwell in them, and will walk among <FI>them<Fi> , and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

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.

17wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I--I will receive you,

17Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and I will receive you;

18and I will be to you for a Father, and ye--ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'

18and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.
