4 but as God's ministers, commending ourselves in everything, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Now as a recompense in the same kind (I speak as to my children), be ye also enlarged.

15 And what concord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God; as God said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people.
17 Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean; and I will receive you,
