2 Corinthians, 6

1. As his fellow-workers, we urge you not to let your acceptance of his grace come to nothing.

1. We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2. As he said, 'At the time of my favour I have answered you; on the day of salvation I have helped you'; well, now is the real time of favour, now the day of salvation is here.

2. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

3. We avoid putting obstacles in anyone's way, so that no blame may attach to our work of service;

3. Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

4. but in everything we prove ourselves authentic servants of God; by resolute perseverance in times of hardships, difficulties and distress;

4. But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

5. when we are flogged or sent to prison or mobbed; labouring, sleepless, starving;

5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

6. in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness; in the Holy Spirit, in a love free of affectation;

6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

7. in the word of truth and in the power of God; by using the weapons of uprightness for attack and for defence:

7. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

8. in times of honour or disgrace, blame or praise; taken for impostors and yet we are genuine;

8. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;

9. unknown and yet we are acknowledged; dying, and yet here we are, alive; scourged but not executed;

9. As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

10. in pain yet always full of joy; poor and yet making many people rich; having nothing, and yet owning everything.

10. As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

11. People of Corinth, we have spoken frankly and opened our heart to you.

11. O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

12. Any distress you feel is not on our side; the distress is in your own selves.

12. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

13. In fair exchange -- I speak as though to children of mine -- you must open your hearts too.

13. Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto [my] children,) be ye also enlarged.

14. Do not harness yourselves in an uneven team with unbelievers; how can uprightness and law-breaking be partners, or what can light and darkness have in common?

14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15. How can Christ come to an agreement with Beliar and what sharing can there be between a believer and an unbeliever?

15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16. The temple of God cannot compromise with false gods, and that is what we are -- the temple of the living God. We have God's word for it: I shall fix my home among them and live among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.

16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17. Get away from them, purify yourselves, says the Lord. Do not touch anything unclean, and then I shall welcome you.

17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,

18. I shall be father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the almighty Lord.

18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

6:1-2 - Paul exhorts the Corinthians not to receive God's grace in vain, emphasizing the urgency of salvation. The "today" of salvation is a continual invitation to personal transformation and conversion (see also Isaiah 49:8 and Hebrews 3:7-8).

6:3-10 - Paul describes the hardships and sufferings he and the other apostles faced, but reaffirms that, despite them, he remained faithful to God's calling. The Christian life is marked by trials, but also by God's faithfulness (see also Philippians 4:12-13 and 1 Corinthians 4:11-13).

6:14-18 - Paul warns Christians about the incompatibility of righteousness and wickedness. Separation from the world and commitment to God are fundamental to living a life of holiness (see also 1 John 2:15-17 and 2 Corinthians 7:1).
