1 And working jointly, we urge you also not to receive the grace of God in vain

2 (for he says, At an acceptable time I heard thee, and in a day of salvation I helped thee. Behold, now is an acceptable time. Behold, now is a day of salvation),

3 giving not one cause of stumbling in anything, so that the ministry may not be criticized,

4 but in everything commending ourselves as helpers of God, in much perseverance, in afflictions, in necessities, in restrictions,

5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hungerings,

6 in purity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in Holy Spirit, in non-hypocritical love,

7 in word of truth, in power of God, through the weapons of righteousness of the right hand and of the left,

8 through glory and disrepute, through slander and commendation; as deceitful, and yet true;

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

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

11 O Corinthians, our mouth has been opened to you, our heart has been enlarged.

12 Ye are not limited in us, but ye are limited in your bowels.

13 But I speak the same recompense as to children, be ye also enlarged.

14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?

15 And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what share have believers with non-believers?

16 And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God, just as God said, I will dwell in them, and will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they will be a people to me.

17 Therefore, Come ye out from among them, and be ye separated, says Lord, And touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you

18 and will be for a Father to you, and ye will be for sons and daughters to me, says Lord Almighty.

1 We as helpers therfore exhorte you yt ye receave not the grace of god in (vayne)

2 For he saith: I have hearde the in a tyme accepted: and in ye daye of saluacion have I suckered the. Beholde now is that well accepted tyme: beholde now is yt daye of saluacion.

3 Let vs geve no man occasion of evyll that in oure office be founde no faute:

4 but in all thynges let vs behave oure selves as the ministers of God. In moche pacience in afflicios in necessite in anguysshe

5 in strypes in presonmet in stryfe in laboure in watchinge in fastyng

6 in purenes in knowledge in longe sufferynge in kyndnes in the holy goost in love vnfayned

7 in ye wordes of trueth in the power of God by ye armoure of rightewesnes on ye right honde and on the lyfte

8 in honoure and dishonoure in evyll reporte and good reporte as desceauers and yet true

9 as unknowen and yet knowen: as dyinge and beholde we yet live: as chastened and not killed:

10 as sorowynge and yet alwaye mery: as poore and yet make many ryche: as havynge nothynge and yet possessynge all thynges.

11 O ye Corinthyans oure mouth is open vnto you. Oure herte is made large:

12 ye are in no strayte in vs but are in a strayte in youre awne bowelles:

13 I promyse you lyke rewarde with me as to my childre.

14 Set youreselues therfore at large and beare not a straugers yoke wyth the vnbelevers. For what fellishippe hath rightewesnes with vnrightewesnes? What company hath light wt darcknes?

15 What cocorde hath Christ with beliall? Ether what parte hath he yt beleveth with an infidele?

16 how agreeth the temple of god wt ymages? And ye are the temple of yt lyuynge god as sayde god. I will dwell amonge the and walke amoge the and wilbe their god: and they shalbe my people.

17 Wherfore come out from amoge the and separate youreselues (sayth the lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receave you

18 and wilbe a father vnto you and ye shalbe vnto me sonnes and doughters sayth the lorde almyghty.
