(For
who was to receive the collections, the gracious abundant sharings, like
the collections from the believers in the area of Corinth, see what
Christ Jesus and the apostles taught and preached, Mat. 19:20-21,
26:6-13; Mark 10:20-21, 14:3-9; Luke 4:18-19, *14:12-14, 21-22, 18:22,
19:8; John 12:3-8, 13:28-29; Acts 2:44-47; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 13:3,
16:1-2;
2 Cor. 6:10, 8:9, 9:9; Gal. 2:10. )
2 Cor. 6:11 (LIT/UBS4) The (to) mouth (stoma) of us (hēmōn) has been opened up (aneōgen) to (pros) you (humas), Corinthians (korinthioi).
The (hē) heart (kardia) of us (hēmōn) has been broadened around (peplatuntai).
2 Cor. 6:12 (LIT/UBS4) You are absolutely not being confined (ou stenochōreisthe) in (en) us (hēmin), but (de) you are being confined (stenochōreisthe) in (en) the (tois) spleens4698 (splanchnois) of you (humōn)!
2 Cor. 6:13 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (tēn) same (autēn) advice (antimisthian) I speak (legō) as (hōs) to ones born (teknois) [of me, AE], you (humeis) also (kai) be broadened (platunthēte) [in heart, v11, RE].
2 Cor. 6:14 (LIT/UBS4) Do not cause yourselves to become (mē ginesthe) ones being yoked to others (heterozugountes), to unbelieving ones (apistois).
Because (gar) what (tis) partnership (metochē) [is] righteousness (dikaiosunē) and (kai) lawlessness (anomia)?
Or (ē) what (tis) fellowship (koinōnia) [is] light (phōti) to (pros) darkness (skotos)?
2 Cor. 6:15 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) what (tis) symphonizing (sumphōnēsis) [is there,AE] of Christ (Christou) to (pros) Belial (Beliar)?
Or (ē) what (tis) part (meris) [is there, AE] for [a] believer (pistō) together with (meta) [an] unbelieving one (apistou)?
2 Cor. 6:16 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) what (ti) holy place (naō) of God (theou) [is] [in, AE] agreement together (sunkatathesis) with (meta) idols (eidōlōn)?
Because (gar) we (hēmeis) are (esmen) [the] holy place (naos) of [a/the] living (zōntos) God (theou).
Down according to as (kathōs) the (ho) God (theos, elohim) enunciated (eipen), “I shall be in-housed (enoikēsō) in (en) them (autois), and (kai) I shall walk in (emperipatēsō) [them, RE].
And (kai) I shall cause myself to be (esomai) [the] God (theos, elohim) of them (autōn), and (kai) they shall cause themselves to be (esontai) [the] people (laos) of me (mou)!”
(For the God, under his new covenant, being IN believers, and he working IN and THROUGH them, see Lev. 26:11-12; Ezek. 11:19-20, 36:25-27; Mat. 13:33; Luke 17:20-21; John 3:3-8, 14:20-21, 26, 17:14-21; Rom. 8:8-11; 1 Cor. 3:16-17, 6:19-20; 2 Cor. 4:3-7, 6:14-7:1, 13:3-5, 14; Gal. 1:15-16, 2:20, 4:18-19; Eph. 2:17-22, 3:14-19; Col. 1:27; 2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. 3:6, 13:20-21; 1 John 3:23-24, 4:7-8, 15-16)
2 Cor. 6:17 (LIT/UBS4) Through which (dio) [sake, AE], “Come out (exelthate), out (ek) [of the] midst (mesou) of them (autōn), and (kai) you be segregated away (aphoristhēte)”, says (legei) [the] Lord (kurios).
“And (kai) do not cause yourselves to take hold (mē haptesthe) of [an] unclean (akathartou) [idol, v16, RE], and I (kagō) shall cause myself to receive you into (eisdexomai humas) [me, AE]!
(See Isa. 52:11)
2 Cor. 6:18 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) I shall cause myself to be (esomai) [a] Father (patera) in (eis) you (humin), and (kai) you (humeis) shall cause yourselves to be (esesthe) sons (huious) and (kai) daughters (thugateras) in (eis) me (moi)”, says (legei) [the] Lord (kurios, YHWH), [the] all powerful one (pantokratōr)!”
(See 2 Sam. 7:14)

(For what is God’s prophesied true “tent”, his new holy place under his new covenant, the prophesied promise of the Father to place himself into believers to live in them as his new permanent domicile, a true “tent” not built with mortal’s hands but with his own hand, see Ex. 15:17; 2 Sam. 7:5-16; Isa. 8:14; Ezek. 11:16; Joel 2:28-29; Amos 9:11-12; Mat. 3:11, 16:18, 26:61, 27:39-40; Mark 14:58, 15:29; Luke 3:21-22, 24:49; *John 2:19-22, 3:1-, 4:20-24, 7:37-39, 14:2, *23; Acts 1:4-5, 2:16-18, 33, 38-39, *7:44-50, *15:16-18, *17:24, *20:28; *Rom. 8:9-11, 12:4-5; 1 Cor. *3:16-17, *6:19-20, 10:16-17, 12:12-28; *2 Cor. 5:1, *6:16-18; Gal. 3:14, 22; Eph. 1:13-14, 22-23, *2:17-22, 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:30-32; Col. 1:18-27, 2:6-10, 3:15; *1 Thes. 5:9-11; *1 Tim. 3:15; *2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. *3:4-6, 8:2, *9:11-15, *24, 10:21, 36; 1 Pet. 2:4-5; 1 John 4:12-16; Rev. 3:12, 7:15, 11:19, *13:6, *21:3, 22)
