2 Corinthians 6

Marks of the Ministry

We then, as ^aworkers together with Him also ^bplead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says:

^a“In an acceptable time I have heard you,

And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
3 ^aWe give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 4 But in all things we commend ourselves ^aas ministers of God: in much ¹patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 ^ain stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by ¹sincere love, 7 ^aby the word of truth, by ^bthe power of God, by ^cthe armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; 9 as unknown, and ^ayet well known; ^bas dying, and behold we live; ^cas chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many ^arich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Be Holy

11 O Corinthians! ¹We have spoken openly to you, ^aour heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but ^ayou are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same ^a(I speak as to children), you also be open.
14 ^aDo not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For ^bwhat ¹fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what ²communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ^ayou¹ are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

^b“I will dwell in them

And walk among them.

I will be their God,

And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

^a“Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

“I ^awill be a Father to you,

And you shall be My ^bsons and daughters,

Says the Lord Almighty.”
