2 Corinthians 6

Paul urges the Corinthians not to receive the grace of God in vain, as now is the day of salvation, and commends his ministry through endurance in afflictions, beatings, hardships, purity, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God, amid honor, dishonor, slander, and praise[1][2][4]. He opens his heart to them, calls them to widen their affections, and warns not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, citing promises that believers are the temple of the living God, with YHWH dwelling among them, calling them to separate from the unclean so He will receive them as Father to sons and daughters[1][2][5].
