2 Corinthians 6:1 As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!
2 Corinthians 6:3 We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.
2 Corinthians 6:4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;
2 Corinthians 6:5 in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;
2 Corinthians 6:6 in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
2 Corinthians 6:7 in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
2 Corinthians 6:8 through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
2 Corinthians 6:9 as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;
2 Corinthians 6:10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
2 Corinthians 6:11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.
2 Corinthians 6:12 It is not our affection, but yours, that is restrained.
2 Corinthians 6:13 As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”
2 Corinthians 6:17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
2 Corinthians 6:18 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
