2 Corinthians 6

2 Corinthians 6:6

By the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned.

In the good improvement of all those spiritual graces, which ye have received.

2 Corinthians 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.

Let us bear ourselves as the ministers of God, in rightly delivering to his people the word of truth, without mixtures of our own fancies; in the zealous maintenance of that truth by our utmost endeavours, and by that power of working miracles which God hath given to us, in all righteousness: which, like a complete armour, may compass us about and defend us, both from the dangers of the temptations of prosperity on the right hand, and of adversity on the left.

2 Corinthians 6:11

O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

O ye Corinthians, we do by all means desire to express the good affections that we bear towards you: our hearts are enlarged towards you, in all affectionate love, and holy desires of your good.

2 Corinthians 6:12

Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are statened in your own bowels.

It is no strait or narrow room, that ye take up in our hearts: ye have full scope there; and, if ye think otherwise, surely the straitness is in your own breasts, that ye will not conceive sufficiently of our kind and hearty disposition towards you.

2 Corinthians 6:13

Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.

In requital of this Christian and fatherly affection of ours to you, be ye also, as spiritual children, alike lovingly affected towards us.

2 Corinthians 6:14

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

Out of this tender love and care of mine, I do advise and charge you, that ye do not make so unequal matches for yourselves, as to join yourselves in marriage with infidels.
