10As sorrowfull, yet alway reioycing: as poore, yet making many rich: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things. 11O yee Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you, our heart is enlarged. 12Yee are not straitened in vs, but yee are straitned in your owne bowels. 13Nowe for a recompense in the same, (I speake as vnto my children) be ye also inlarged. 14Be ye not vnequally yoked together with vnbeleeuers: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darknesse?
