2 Corinthians 6:12

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.

See the chapter Copy

He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no cramping, 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 striving after wind.

Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the Spirit of the Lord impatient? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?

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

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

Open your hearts to 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 yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
