2 Corinthians 6:12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

There is no restriction in our affections but only in yours.

See the chapter Copy

He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no constraint, and what was set on your table was full of fatness.

When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire; this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the Lord’s patience exhausted? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to one who walks uprightly?

For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

We are afflicted in every way but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair,

Make room in your hearts for us; we have wronged no one; we have corrupted no one; we have taken advantage of no one.

For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the tender affection of Christ Jesus.

How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
