2 Corinthians 6
That he hath approved himself a faithful minister of Christ, both by his exhortations,
2 Corinthians 6:1 We also as helpers exhorte you þt ye receaue not the grace of God in vayne. 2 Corinthians 6:2 For he sayth: I haue heard the in a tyme accepted: and in the daye of saluacyon, haue I suckered the. Beholde, now is that accepted tyme: beholde, now is that daye of saluacyon.
and by integrity of life,
2 Corinthians 6:3 Lett vs geue no occasyon of euyll, that in oure offyce be founde no faute:
and by patient enduring all kinds of afflictions and disgraces for the Gospel.
2 Corinthians 6:4 but in all thynges let vs behaue oure selues as the minysters of God. In moch pacience, in affliccyons, in necessitees in anguysshes, 2 Corinthians 6:5 in strypes, in presonmentes: in stryfes: in laboures, in watchynges, in fastynges, 2 Corinthians 6:6 in purenes, in knowledge, in longe suffring, in kyndenes, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfayned, 2 Corinthians 6:7 in the worde of trueth, in the power of God, by the armoure of ryghtewesnes of the ryght hande & on þe lyfte 2 Corinthians 6:8 be honoure and dishonoure: be euyll reporte & good reporte: as desceauers, and yet true, 2 Corinthians 6:9 as vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dyinge, and beholde, we lyue: as chastened, and not kylled:
Of which he speaketh the more boldly amongst them, because his heart is open to them,
2 Corinthians 6:10 as sorowing, & yet alwaye merye: as poore, and yet make many ryche: as hauinge nothyng, & yet possessyng all thynges. 2 Corinthians 6:11 O ye Corynthyans, oure mouth is open vnto you. Oure hert is made large: 2 Corinthians 6:12 ye are in no strayte in vs, but are in a strayte in youre awne bowelles:
and he expecteth the like affection from them again:
2 Corinthians 6:13 I promyse vnto you lyke reward, as vnto chyldren.
exhorting to flee the society and pollutions of idolaters, as being themselves temples of the living God.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Set your selues at large, and beare not ye the yoke wt þe vnbeleuers. For what fellyship hath ryghtewesnes with vnryghtewesnes? Or what company hath lyght wt darknes? 2 Corinthians 6:15 Or what concorde hath Christ with Beliall? Ether what parte hath he that beleueth, with an infidell? 2 Corinthians 6:16 Or how agreeth the temple of God with Images for ye are the temple of the lyuinge God, as sayde God? I wyll dwell amonge them, & walcke amonge them, and wylbe their God: & they shalbe my people. 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherfore come out from amonge them, and separate youre selues from them (sayth þe Lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receaue you, 2 Corinthians 6:18 and wylbe a father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes & daughters, sayth the Lorde allmyghty.
