6:1  Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
6:2  For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
6:3  We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
6:4  but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,
6:5  beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
6:6  by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love;
6:7  by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
6:8  through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
6:9  as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;
6:10  as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
6:11  We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open.
6:12  You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.
6:13  In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.
6:14  Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
6:15  What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
6:16  What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
6:17  Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,
6:18  and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
