WE then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of Elohiym in vain.
(For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of yeshu`ah have I helped you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of yeshu`ah.)
Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed:
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of Elohiym, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Ruach Ha'Qodesh, by love unfeigned,
By the Word of Truth, by the power of Elohiym, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
O ye Qorintiym, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own heart.
Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?
And what concord has Yahusha Ha'Mashiach with Beliya`al? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?
And what agreement has the Temple of Elohiym with idols? for ye are the Temple of the living Elohiym; as Elohiym has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Elohiym, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, says Yahuah, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, says Yahuah Tseva'oth.
