2 Corinthians 6:1-10 ▼

1 And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain—

2 for He says, “AT A FAVORABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON A DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU.” Behold, now is “A FAVORABLE TIME,” behold, now is “A DAY OF SALVATION”—

3 giving no reason for taking offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in difficulties,

5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in mob attacks, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

7 in the word of truth, and in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true;

9 as unknown and yet well known, as dying and yet behold, we are alive; as punished and yet not put to death,

10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
