2 Corinthians 6:3-7

3we put no obstruction in anyone’s path, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

4but we commend ourselves in every way as servants of God: in great endurance, in sufferings, in hardships, in distresses,

5in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in sleepless nights, in hunger,

6in purity and sincerity, in knowledge and spiritual insight, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love,

7in [speaking] the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [like holding the sword to attack] and for the left [like holding the shield to defend],
