2 Corinthians 6:1
II Corinthians 6:1 The Apostolic Ministry SUMMARY OF II Corinthians 6: An Exhortation to Believers. The Blameless Ministry of Paul and His Fellow-Workers. Their Endurance of Trials. Their Unselfish Self-Denial. An Appeal for Greater Love. The Intimate Association with Unbelievers Forbidden. Saints the Temple of God. We then. Paul and Timothy especially, and other ministers associated with them (II Corinthians 1:1). [As] workers together [with him]. Not only fellow-laborers, but workers with Christ. See II Corinthians 5:17-21. That ye receive not the grace of God in vain. The "grace (favor) of God" meant is the gospel, "the ministry of reconciliation" (II Corinthians 5:18). To receive it "in vain" would be to receive it and then fall away. Compare I Corinthians 15:2.
