2 Corinthians 6
Introduction
| 1 | That he has approved himself a faithful minister of Christ by his exhortations, |
| 3 | and by integrity of life, |
| 4 | and by patient enduring all kinds of affliction and disgrace for the gospel. |
| 10 | Of which he speaks the more boldly amongst them because his heart is open to them, |
| 13 | and he expects the like affection from them again; |
| 14 | exhorting them to flee the society and pollutions of idolaters, as being themselves temples of the living God. |
