2 Corinthians 6:12

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Ye are not contracted in us, but ye are contracted in your bowels.

See the chapter Copy

And also he moved thee from the mouth of the enemy to a broad, not straight place; and thy table came. down full of fatness.

In thy going, thy steps shall not be pressed; and if thou shalt run thou shalt not be weak.

Good the sight of the eyes above the going of the soul. Also this is vanity and striving of spirit

Causing the house of Jacob to say, Was the spirit of Jehovah shortened? if these his doings? shall not my words do good to a people going straight?.

For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

Being pressed in every thing, but not straightened; being at a loss, but not utterly perplexed;

Receive us; we injured none, we corrupted none, we took advantage of none.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?
