6:1  As God's co-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.
6:2  For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
6:3  We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
6:4  Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
6:5  in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
6:6  in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
6:7  in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
6:8  through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
6:9  known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
6:10  sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
6:11  We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
6:12  We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.
6:13  As a fair exchange--I speak as to my children--open wide your hearts also.
6:14  Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
6:15  What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
6:16  What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
6:17  Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."
6:18  And, "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
