AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 6:1-10Now is the day of salvation
About 2 Corinthians 6Paul begs them to "receive not the grace of God in vain," for "now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." He commends his ministry by "much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses," living "as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich," and he opens his heart to them, asking them to "be ye also enlarged." He warns, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers," for "ye are the temple of the living God," and God says, "come out from among them, and be ye separate... and I will receive you." 2 Corinthians 6:12 Corinthians 6:22 Corinthians 6:42 Corinthians 6:102 Corinthians 6:112 Corinthians 6:132 Corinthians 6:142 Corinthians 6:162 Corinthians 6:17
