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. 10-13. In verse 4: Servants of God: ("theou diakonoi") should be rendered "ministers of God" for consistency. In verses 4-10: Paul's lists 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 has embodied the dying and rising of Christ (4.10-12). In verses 11-12: This final appeal indicates experienced (11.1-6). It continues in 7.2-4.
