2 Corinthians 6:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
6 1 He exhorteth them to lead their lives as it becometh Christians, 5 neither to be dismayed in tribulations, 9 nor puffed up with glory: 14 to avoid all uncleanness, 16 considering that they are the temples of the living God.
1 So [a]we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 [b]For he saith, (A)I have heard thee in a time [c]accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold now the accepted time, behold now the day of salvation.
3 [d]We give no occasion of offence in anything, that our ministry should not be reprehended.
