| 6:1 | Marks of the MinistryPaul's Sufferings in His Ministry We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. |
| 6:2 | For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you."Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. |
| 6:3 | We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. |
| 6:4 | But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, |
| 6:5 | in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; |
| 6:6 | by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, |
| 6:7 | by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, |
| 6:8 | by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; |
| 6:9 | as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; |
| 6:10 | as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.Be Holy |
| 6:11 | O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. |
| 6:12 | You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. |
| 6:13 | Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. |
| 6:14 | Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? |
| 6:15 | And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? |
| 6:16 | And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:"I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people." |
| 6:17 | Therefore"Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." |
| 6:18 | I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty. |
