| 2 Corinthians 6
|
| | 6:1
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive
not the grace of God in vain. |
| | 6:2
(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.) |
| | 6:3
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: |
| | 6:4
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much
patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, |
| | 6:5
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in
fastings; |
| | 6:6
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy
Ghost, by love unfeigned, |
| | 6:7
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left, |
| | 6:8
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and
yet true; |
| | 6:9
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as
chastened, and not killed; |
| | 6:10
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as
having nothing, and yet possessing all things. |
| | 6:11
O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. |
| | 6:12
Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. |
| | 6:13
Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye
also enlarged. |
| | 6:14
Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
|
(6:14-17) "Be ye separate."
Keep away from unbelievers. Neither marry nor be friends with them.
How should nonbelievers be treated?
What the Bible says about non-Christians
Is it OK to marry unbelievers?
To Jehovah's Witnesses, everything outside of the Watchtower Organization
is controlled by Satan. The Governing Body uses theses verses to
condemn all holidays, civic activities, and association with non-JWs.
| | 6:15
And what concord hath
Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
| | 6:16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk
in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
| | 6:17
Wherefore come out
from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you. |
BOM: Alma 5:57
| | 6:18
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.
