2 Cor 6
Uniqueness of Paul's ministry, with emphasy on Justification as our offensive weapon (vs 7)
1 Moreover, we exhort you to be a fellow-worker; who has not accepted the grace of God in vain.
2 No doubt, it was said, at acceptable time, I will listen to you, and in the day of salvation, I will help you. (Is 49:8). Behold now is the acceptable time; behold now is the day of salvation.
3 Nothing in no-one should give occasion for stumbling, at least not to discredit the office/ministry.
4 But in all things, we introduce ourselves as servants of God, in cheerful endurance to many, in afflictions, in necessity, in distress,
5 in stripes, in imprisonment, in riots, in toiling, in sleeplessness, in fasting;
6 in purity, in genuine/sincere knowledge, in long forbearance, in kindness, in selfless-Love, in the Holy SPIRIT;
7 in words of Truth, in mighty-deeds of God; through the instrument/armour of Justification on right hand and left hand;
8 through glory and disgrace, through defamation and good repute; as though an impostors, but true;
9 as ignorant but recognized; as dying but behold, we live; as chastised one but not killed;
10 as though grieved but forever rejoicing; as beggars but making many rich; like having nothing but possessing all things.
Show unrestrained affection
11 the Corinthians, we have open up ouy mouth (to you); open wide your heart towards us;
12 you could be restrained/restricted (morally) by us, but not to be restrained in your inward yearning/affection (of bowel);
13 however, and I say, you should be opened wide even like children, for its reward/pay-back.
Be set apart
14 Never, become strangely yoked/crossbreed (heterozygounte) to unbelievers/infidel; for what is the participation of Justification and violation of law? Or what is the fellowship of light towards darkness?
15 Moreover, what is the concord of Christ towards belial (worthlessness)? Or what is the portion of believers amid unbelievers?
16 also what is the agreement of temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the Living God, as it is said, God will perambulates and dwell among them, and I will be God to them and they will be MY people (Lev 26:12, Jer 32:38).
17 by this reason, get out from their midst, and be separated, says the Supreme God, and touch nothing unclean, and I will accept you; (Is 52:11)
18 and I will be A FATHER unto you, and you will be sons and daughters unto ME, says the Supreme God, the All-Mighty/omnipotent. (2Sam7:14)
