2 Corinthians 6:6

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
