10 as if sorrowful and yet always rejoicing; as if needy and yet enriching many; as if having nothing and possessing everything.
11 Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians; our heart is enlarged.
12 You are not narrowed by us, but it is by your own inner selves that you are narrowed.
13 But since we have the same recompense, (I am speaking as if to my own sons), you, too, should be enlarged.
14 Do not choose to bear the yoke with unbelievers. For how can justice be a participant with iniquity? Or how can the fellowship of light be a participant with darkness?
15 And how can Christ join together with Belial? Or what part do the faithful have with the unfaithful?
