47:006:014 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what
fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
communion
hath light with darkness?
47:006:015 And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
or what part hath he
that
believeth with an infidel?
47:006:016 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.
47:006:017 Wherefore come out from among them, and
be ye separate, saith
the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you.
47:006:018 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall
be my sons and
daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.
47:007:001 Having therefore these promises, dearly
beloved, let us
cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
perfecting
holiness in the fear of God.
47:007:002 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we
have corrupted no man,
we
have defrauded no man.
47:007:003 I speak not this to condemn you: for
I have said before, that
ye
are in our hearts to die and live with you.
47:007:004 Great is my boldness of speech toward you,
great is my
glorying
of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding
joyful
in all our tribulation.
47:007:005 For, when we were come into Macedonia,
our flesh had no rest,
but
we were troubled on every side; without were fightings,
within
were fears.
47:007:006 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those
that are cast down,
comforted
us by the coming of Titus;
47:007:007 And not by his coming only, but by the
consolation wherewith
he
was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest
desire,
your
mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced
the
more.
47:007:008 For though I made you sorry with a letter,
I do not repent,
though
I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle
hath
made
you sorry, though it were but for a season.
47:007:009 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,
but that ye
sorrowed
to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a
godly
manner,
that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
47:007:010 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to
salvation not to be
repented
of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
47:007:011 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye
sorrowed after a godly
sort,
what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing
of
yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear,
yea,
what
vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge!
In
all
things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this
matter.
