6:1  Working together with Him, we also appeal to you, "Don't receive God's grace in vain."
6:2  For He says: I heard you in an acceptable time, and I helped you in the day of salvation. Look, now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation.
6:3  We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed.
6:4  But as God's ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardship, by difficulties,
6:5  by beatings, by imprisonments, by riots, by labors, by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,
6:6  by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,
6:7  by the message of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness on the right hand and the left,
6:8  through glory and dishonor, through slander and good report; as deceivers yet true;
6:9  as unknown yet recognized; as dying and look--we live; as being disciplined yet not killed;
6:10  as grieving yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing yet possessing everything.
6:11  We have spoken openly to you, Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide.
6:12  You are not limited by us, but you are limited by your own affections.
6:13  I speak as to my children. As a proper response, you should also be open to us.
6:14  Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
6:15  What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
6:16  And what agreement does God's sanctuary have with idols? For we are the sanctuary of the living God, as God said: I will dwell among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.
6:17  Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord; do not touch any unclean thing, and I will welcome you.
6:18  I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.
