2 Corinthians 6 — Context

9

Unnoted, but still kept fully in mind; as near to death, but still living; as undergoing punishment, but not put to death;

10

As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.

11

Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide.

12

It is not our feelings to you which are narrow, but yours to us.

13

Now to give me back payment of the same sort (I am talking as to my children), let your hearts be wide open to me.

14

Do not keep company with those who have not faith: for what is there in common between righteousness and evil, or between light and dark?

15

And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?
