7. in the word of truth, in the power of God through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8. through honour and dishonour, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet as men of the truth;
9. as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, but, behold, we live; as chastened, but not killed;
10. as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11. O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13. Now for a recompense in the same (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.
14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship does righteousness have with unrighteousness? and what communion does light have with darkness?
15. And what concord does Christ have with Belial? or what part do the faithful have with the unfaithful?
16. And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
