2Corinthians:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
We work with God .
So we beg you ,
do not take Gods blessing and get nothing from it .
*
Because God has said .
I heard you call at the right time .
And I helped you in the day when I saved you .
See ,
now is the right time .
Now is the day to be saved .
*
We put nothing in anyones way .
So no one can say our work is bad .
*
In every way we try to show that we are good servants of God .
We do not give up when there is much trouble ,
and things go wrong ,
and things are hard .
*
We are being beaten and put in prison .
We are being knocked around .
We work hard .
We are awake at night and we go hungry .
*
We help you with our knowledge and by living a clean life ,
with the help of the Spirit .
We are patient and kind .
We help you by the Holy Spirit .
We have shown true love .
*
We have told you the truth with the power of God .
These are the right things to use in our fight ,
and we have used them with both hands .
*
Some people respect us and some do not .
Some give us a good name and some a bad name .
Some people say we fool people and yet we tell the truth .
*
Many people do not know us ,
and yet many people know us very well .
We almost die and yet we live .
People give us much trouble but they do not kill us .
We are very sad and yet always glad .
*
We are poor ,
but we make many people rich .
We have nothing ,
but really we have everything .
*
We talk plainly to you people in Corinth .
We love you with all our hearts .
*
We have not stopped loving you ,
but you do not love us .
*
I say this as to my own children .
You should love us with all your hearts .
with those who do not believe .
You and they are not equal .
How can people who do right ,
work with those who do not obey God ?
How can light and darkness be in the same place ?
*
How can Christ agree with Belial ,
the devil ?
How can a person who believes work with a person who does not believe ?
*
Is there anything equal about a house of God and a house of idols ?
We are a house of the living God .
God has said ,
I will live in them and walk in them .
I will be their God and they will be my people .
*
So the Lord says ,
Come away from among bad people .
Stay away from them .
Do not touch what is not clean .
And I will receive you .
*
I will be your father .
And you shall be my sons and daughters .
The Lord who is ruler of all says that .
