2 Corinthians 6:1-13 — Paul's Hardships

2Cor.6.1-13

¹Working together , we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain. ²For he says: “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. ³We give no obstacle in anything, so that the ministry may not be blamed, ⁴but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in restrictions, ⁵in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in sleepless nights, in fastings; ⁶in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, ⁷in the message of truth, in the power of God; through the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left; ⁸through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report; as deceivers and yet true; ⁹as unknown and yet well-known; as dying, and behold, we live; as disciplined and yet not killed; ¹⁰as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet making many rich; as having nothing and yet possessing everything. ¹¹Our mouth has been opened to speak freely to you, Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide. ¹²You are not restricted in us, but you are restricted in your own affections. ¹³Now as the same return—I speak as to children—you also open wide.
