[ Read](/kjv/2-corinthians/6)[ Commentary](/study/2-corinthians/6)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/2-corinthians/6) Audio

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

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

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

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

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

 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 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and *yet* true;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Commentary

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

Ver. 1. **As workers together** ] Not as coadjutors, but as instruments, such as God is pleased to make use of. See the note on[1 Corinthians 3:9](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/9); [1 Corinthians 3:9](/kjv/1-corinthians/3/9) . 

**The grace of God in vain,** ] That embassy of grace, [2 Corinthians 5:20](/kjv/2-corinthians/5/20) ; or that unspeakable gift of Christ, [2 Corinthians 9:15](/kjv/2-corinthians/9/15) , which many use as homely as Rachel did her father’s gods, -she hid them in the litter and sat on them; or as that lewd boy in Kett’s conspiracy, who when the king’s pardon was offered the rebels by a herald, he turned toward him his naked posteriors, and used words suitable to that gesture. One standing by discharged a harquebus *a* upon the body. (Life of K. Edward VI, by Sir John Hay.) 

*a* The early type of portable gun, varying in size from a small cannon to a musket, which on account of its weight was, when used in the field, supported upon a tripod, trestle, or other ‘carriage’, and afterwards upon a forked ‘rest’. The name in German and Flemish meant literally ‘hook-gun’, from the hook cast along with the piece, by which it was fastened to the ‘carriage’; but the name became generic for portable firearms generally in the 16th century, so that the type with the hook was subsequently distinguished as *arquebuse à croc:* ŒD 

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.)
