2 Corinthians — Chapter 6

The Ministry Approved in Suffering

"Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation."

— 2Cor 6:2

2 Corinthians 6 describes the apostolic ministry as approved in suffering, and calls the Corinthians to separation from the world.

⚡ The Ministry in Suffering (6:3-10)

2Cor 6:4-10
"But as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities... as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything."
The list of 27 paradoxes of the apostolic ministry. The last four are the most profound: sorrowful/joyful, poor/enriching, having nothing/possessing everything. Christian ministry is defined by paradoxes that only make sense in light of the resurrection.
