2 Corinthians 6:4-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 but in everything (A)commending ourselves as [a](B)servants of God, (C)in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5 in (D)beatings, in imprisonments, in (E)tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in (F)hunger, 6 in purity, in (G)knowledge, in (H)patience, in kindness, in the (I)Holy Spirit, in (J)genuine love, 7 in (K)the word of truth, in (L)the power of God; by (M)the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8 by glory and (N)dishonor, by (O)evil report and good report; regarded as (P)deceivers and yet (Q)true; 9 as unknown [b]yet well-known, as (R)dying [c]yet behold, (S)we live; as [d]punished [e]yet not put to death, 10 as (T)sorrowful yet always (U)rejoicing, as (V)poor yet making many rich, as (W)having nothing [f]yet possessing (X)all things.
11 (Y)Our mouth [g]has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our (Z)heart is opened wide. 12 You are not restrained [h]by us, but (AA)you are restrained in your own [i]affections. 13 Now in a like (AB)exchange—I speak as to (AC)children—open wide to us also.
14 (AD)Do not be [j]bound together with (AE)unbelievers; for what (AF)partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what (AG)harmony has Christ with [k]Belial, or [l]what has a (AH)believer in common with an (AI)unbeliever? 16 Or (AJ)what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are (AK)the temple of (AL)the living God; just as God said,
“(AM)I will (AN)dwell in them and (AO)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 “(AP)Therefore, (AQ)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
18 “(AR)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be (AS)sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.

23 Are they (A)servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in [a](B)far more labors, in [b](C)far more imprisonments, [c](D)beaten times without number, often in (E)danger of death. 24 Five times I received from the Jews (F)thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was (G)beaten with rods, once I was (H)stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. 26 I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my (I)countrymen, dangers from the (J)Gentiles, dangers in the (K)city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among (L)false brethren; 27 I have been in (M)labor and hardship, [d]through many sleepless nights, in (N)hunger and thirst, often (O)without food, in cold and [e](P)exposure.
