Paul’s great paradox chapter: eighteen verses moving from the urgency of salvation through nine apostolic contradictions to the call for holy separation. Written from Macedonia around AD 55-56, 2 Corinthians 6 defines authentic ministry by what it costs and grounds holy living in covenant identity rather than moralism.

Full sung version coming soon.

Lyrics

Working together we entreat also That you do not receive the grace of God in vain Behold now is the acceptable time Behold now is the day of salvation

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything That our service may not be blamed But in everything commending ourselves as servants of God In great endurance in afflictions in hardships in distresses

In beatings in imprisonments in riots in labours In watchings in fastings in pureness in knowledge In perseverance in kindness in the Holy Spirit In sincere love in the word of truth

In the power of God by the armour of righteousness On the right hand and on the left

By glory and dishonour by evil report and good report As deceivers and yet true as unknown and yet well known As dying and behold we live as punished and not killed As sorrowful yet always rejoicing

As poor yet making many rich as having nothing Yet possessing all things Our mouth is open to you our heart is enlarged

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers For what fellowship does righteousness have with iniquity Or what fellowship does light have with darkness What agreement does Christ have with Belial
