📖 2 Corinthians introduction

Read the chapter

1And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain— ✦ 2for 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”— ✦ 3giving no reason for taking offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, ✦ 4but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in difficulties, ✦ 5in beatings, in imprisonments, in mob attacks, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger, ✦ 6in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, ✦ 7in the word of truth, and in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, ✦ 8by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; ✦ 9as unknown and yet well known, as dying and yet behold, we are alive; as punished and yet not put to death, ✦ 10as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things. ✦ 11Our mouth has spoken freely to you, you Corinthians, our heart is opened wide. ✦ 12You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections. ✦ 13Now in the same way in exchange—I am speaking as to children—open wide your hearts to us, you as well. ✦ 14Do not be mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? ✦ 15Or what harmony does Christ have with Belial, or what does a believer share with an unbeliever? ✦ 16Or what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell among them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. ✦ 17“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you. ✦ 18“And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty. ✦

Christ at the center

In Christ all God's promises are 'Yes and Amen'; though rich, he became poor to make us rich, and in him God reconciles the world, making us new creations.
