2 Corinthians 6:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.

12 It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained.

13 As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.

15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
