2 Corinthians 6:5-13

5in 1beatings, in imprisonments, in 2tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in 3hunger, 6in purity, in 4knowledge, in 5patience, in kindness, in the 6Holy Spirit, in 7genuine love, 7in 8the word of truth, in 9the power of God; by 10the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8by glory and 11dishonor, by 12evil report and good report; regarded as 13deceivers and yet 14true; 9as unknown 15yet well-known, as 16dying 17yet behold, 18we live; as 19punished 20yet not put to death, 10as 21sorrowful yet always 22rejoicing, as 23poor yet making many rich, as 24having nothing 25yet possessing 26all things.

11 27Our mouth 28has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our 29heart is opened wide. 12You are not restrained 30by us, but 31you are restrained in your own 32affections. 13Now in a like 33exchange--I speak as to 34children--open wide to us also.
