This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
6 Since we’re working together, we want to encourage you all not to accept God’s grace wastefully 2 [ref]because he said,
‘I listened to you at the right time,
and I helped you on the day when you were saved.’
Listen, today is the right time to ask. And listen again, today is the right day to get saved.
3 Don’t give anyone a reason to stumble, so that the ministry won’t be tarnished, 4 but as God’s servants we commend ourselves in every way—by great endurance when facing afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5 [ref]beatings, imprisonments, riots, labours, sleepless nights, hunger, 6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the holy spirit, genuine love, 7 in truthful speech and in the power of God. Hold the weapons of righteousness in both your right and left hands 8 whether in victory or dishonour, through bad reports and good reports, even if being called fakes (but being genuine). 9 We’re regarded as unknowns despite being well-known, considered to be dying off yet very much alive, being beaten but not yet being killed, 10 regarded as sad but always happy, as poor but making many people rich, as having nothing but possessing everything.
11 We’ve shared our thoughts with you all from Corinth and our hearts have been expanded. 12 You haven’t been restricted by us, but your own compassions restrict you all. 13 In return, you also should be expanded. (Yes, I know it’s like I’m talking to children.)
6:14 Don’t be teamed with unbelievers
14 Don’t be teamed together with unbelievers, because how can there be a partnership between obeying and disobeying God, or in other words, how can light socialise with darkness? 15 So what harmony can Messiah have with Satan, or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 [ref]What agreement can God’s temple have with idols, because we are the temple of the living God? As God said,
‘I will live with them
I will be their God
17 [ref]Therefore the master says,
‘Come out from among them and be separate.
Touch nothing that’s ceremonially prohibited
and then I will accept you.
18 [ref]I will be a Father for you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,’
says the all-powerful master.
