As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

We work together with God. So we are asking you not to receive God’s grace and then do nothing with it.

Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Working together with him, we also appeal to you,“ Don’t receive the grace of God in vain.”

And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain—

We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

And working together with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

Working together with Him, we also appeal to you,“ Don’t receive God’s grace in vain.”

We then,[ as] workers together[ with him], beseech[ you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.

And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead,“ Come back to God!”

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!

I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice— the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.

Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?

But the apostles stayed there a long time, preaching boldly about the grace of the Lord. And the Lord proved their message was true by giving them power to do miraculous signs and wonders.

“‘ How can you say,“ We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,” when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?

Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ— though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.

“ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.

Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia.They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.

I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles— free from those laws. You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you.

For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.
