6:1 We then not only beseech, but as fellow - labourers with you, who are working out your own salvation, do also exhort you, not to receive the grace of God - Which we have been now describing. In vain - We receive it by faith; and not in vain, if we add to this, persevering holiness.

Don't be so quick trying to work on others salvation. Work out your own salvation with fear and trimbling, And receving it by having faith as size of a mustard seed, That you will not labourer in vain, And we have been set aside,so we must live holiness before good.
