6:1  Since, then, we are working with God, we plead with you not to accept God's grace in vain.
6:2  For he says, "At the right time I heard you, and on a day of salvation I helped you." Listen, now is really the "right time"! Now is the "day of salvation"!
6:3  We do not put an obstacle in anyone's way. Otherwise, fault may be found with our ministry.
6:4  Instead, in every way we demonstrate that we are God's servants by tremendous endurance in the midst of difficulties, hardships, and calamities;
6:5  in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger;
6:6  with purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; with the Holy Spirit, genuine love,
6:7  truthful speech, and divine power; through the weapons of righteousness in the right and left hands;
6:8  through honor and dishonor; through ill repute and good repute; perceived as deceivers and yet true,
6:9  as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet—as you see—very much alive, as punished and yet not killed,
6:10  as sorrowful and yet always rejoicing, as poor and yet enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing everything.
6:11  We have spoken frankly to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are wide open.
6:12  We have not cut you off, but you have cut off your own feelings toward us.
6:13  Do us a favor—I ask you as my children—and open wide your hearts.
6:14  Stop becoming unevenly yoked with unbelievers. What partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? What fellowship can light have with darkness?
6:15  What harmony exists between the Messiah and Beliar, or what do a believer and an unbeliever have in common?
6:16  What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people."
6:17  Therefore, "Get away from them and separate yourselves from them," declares the Lord, "and don't touch anything unclean. Then I will welcome you.
6:18  I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters," declares the Lord Almighty.
