Notes

2 Corinthians 6:1–2

To win over the discontented believers in Corinth, Paul asks them to listen to him and Timothy as God's servants and messengers.
As God's fellow workers: Literally As we work together, which raises the question of whether Paul meant they were working as a team or working together with God.
