2 Corinthians 6:3-11

3 1giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, 4but in everything 2commending ourselves as 3 4servants of God, 5in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5in 6beatings, in imprisonments, in 7tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in 8hunger, 6in purity, in 9knowledge, in 10patience, in kindness, in the 11Holy Spirit, in 12genuine love, 7in 13the word of truth, in 14the power of God; by 15the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8by glory and 16dishonor, by 17evil report and good report; regarded as 18deceivers and yet 19true; 9as unknown 20yet well-known, as 21dying 22yet behold, 23we live; as 24punished 25yet not put to death, 10as 26sorrowful yet always 27rejoicing, as 28poor yet making many rich, as 29having nothing 30yet possessing 31all things.

11 32Our mouth 33has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our 34heart is opened wide.
