2 Corinthians 6 Commentary

Paul continues in the defense of his ministry to the Corinthian believers. Rather than draw attention to his competence as a preacher, teacher, or writer, he lists his qualifications in terms of what he has and is going through to fulfill his calling as an apostle of Jesus Christ. He becomes vulnerable and open to his church, again declaring his love and affection for them.

Paul appeals to the Corinthians to hear him: he has held nothing back in his openness and love for them, but the Corinthians have not reciprocated in the same way.

Paul urges his readers to walk in righteousness and light, and to separate themselves from those in the church who work against the will of God. God has called believers to be set apart from the world, to live in step with His design as sons and daughters.
