2 Corinthians 6:4-10

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],

8amid glory and dishonor; by evil report and good report; branded as deceivers and yet [vindicated as] truthful;

9as unknown [to the world], yet well-known [by God and His people]; as dying, yet we live; as punished, yet not killed;

10as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet bestowing riches on many; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.
