2 Corinthians 6:1

GraceServing others
As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

2 For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!

3 We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no one can discredit our ministry.
