When we meet as the church we must have this humility and fear of God in our hearts.
There is a tremendous responsibility and spiritual reality involved in bringing the gospel to one another and to people.
We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.2. For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.3. We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.4. But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,5. in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;6. by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,7. by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,8. by honor and dishonor, 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 yet not killed;10. as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 6:1-7:1
