2 Corinthians 6
1Paul entreateth the Corinthians not to frustrate God's grace: 3setting forth his own inoffensive, painful, and patient, demeanour in the discharge of his ministry: 11of which he telleth them he spake more freely out of the great love he bare them; 13challenging the same affection from them in return. 14He dissuadeth from any intimate connections with unbelievers. 16Christians are the temples of the living God.
1 WE then, as aworkers together with him, beseech you also that bye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 c(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
