Read 2 Corinthians 6.1-13. In 6.1-13: Working together with God. In verse 1: 1 Cor 3.9 confirms with him as a correct rendering of the Greek. In verse 2: Isa 49.8. In verse 3: This echoes the defensive tone of chs. 10-11. In verses 4: Servants of God (theou diakonoi') should be rendered "ministers of God" for consistency. In verses 4-10: Paul's list of commendations includes hardships (vv. 4b-5) and virtuous behavior (vv. 6-7) lived out among life's contradictions and puzzles (vv.8-10). Many elements of this self-portrait are confirmed in acts 13-28, as well as Paul's other descriptions of his ministry (1 Thess 2). The paradoxes of vv. 8-10 specify the ways he embodied the dying and rising of Christ (4.10-12). In verses 11-12: This final appeal indicates the level of alienation Paul and the Corinthians had experienced (11.1-6). It continues in 7.2-4. Comments or Questions..
