== workers together ==


1 ¶  We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the [[grace]] of God in vain.
2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of [[salvation]].)
3  Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4  But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5  In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

| The Greek word ''agreement'' in verse 16  ''sugkatathesis''<Ref name="sugkatathesis">{{4783}}</Ref>  from the verb ''sugkatatithemai'' <Ref>{{4784}}</Ref> means "to deposit together with another... to consent to, vote for". It is composed of two words ''sun''<Ref>{{4862}}</Ref> meaning ''with'' and ''katatithemi''<Ref>{{2698}}</Ref> meaning  ''"to lay up favour for future use"''. The Greek term ''sugkatathesis''<Ref name="sugkatathesis">{{4783}}</Ref> is defined as "a putting together or joint deposit" like the [[One purse]] spoken of in Proverbs where we are told to [[consent not]].

| To understand the [[daily ministration]] of [[pure Religion]] it would be good to understand the [[Christian conflict]] with the [[Temples]] of [[Rome]] and their [[public welfare]] of [[free bread]] and the purpose of the [[persecution]]s.

| Who are the [[workers of iniquity]]?
|-
| Are [[modern Christians]] unequally [[yoke]]d  with unbelievers, those who believe in [[force]] rather than [[faith]] and [[love]]?  Where is the [[strong delusion]]?
|-
| Do [[modern Christians]] love the [[wages of unrighteousness]]?
|-
| Are they again entangled in the [[yoke]] of [[bondage]] through the [[elements]] of the [[world]]? 
|-
| Are they made [[merchandise]]? Do they [[curse children]]?
|-
| "if any man" be in Christ would not he be doing the will of the [[Father]]?
|-
| Is it the will of the Father to [[covet]], to [[bite]] or to [[love]] one another?
|-
| We need to [[repent]] and [[seek] the will of God. Christ did not give us license to [[covet]]. If we truly loved Him we would [[Keep the Commandments]].

6  By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7  By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of [[righteousness]]<Ref name="armourf">{{armourf}}</Ref> on the right hand and on the left,
8  By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9  As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10  As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

== unequally [[yoke]]d  ==

11 ¶  O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12  Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13  Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
14  Be ye not unequally [[yoke]]d together with un[[believer]]s<Ref name="apistos">{{571}}</Ref>: for what [[fellowship]] hath [[righteousness]] with unrighteousness? and what [[communion]] hath light with darkness?<Ref name="darkened">{{darkened}}</Ref>
15  And what concord hath [[Christ]] with [[nicolaitan|Belial]]? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18  And will be a [[Father]] unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
