1As God’s partners, we beg you not to reject this marvelous message of God’s great kindness.
2For God says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation.
3We try to live in such a way that no one will be hindered from finding the Lord by the way we act, and so no one can find fault with our ministry.
4In everything we do we try to show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.
5We have been beaten, been put in jail, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food.
6We have proved ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, our sincere love, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
7We have faithfully preached the truth. God’s power has been working in us. We have righteousness as our weapon, both to attack and to defend ourselves.
8We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors.
9We are well known, but we are treated as unknown. We live close to death, but here we are, still alive. We have been beaten within an inch of our lives.
10Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.
11Oh, dear Corinthian friends! We have spoken honestly with you. Our hearts are open to you.
12If there is a problem between us, it is not because of a lack of love on our part, but because you have withheld your love from us.
13I am talking now as I would to my own children. Open your hearts to us!
14Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?
15What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?
16And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
17Therefore, come out from them and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.
18And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
