2 Corinthians 6:4-10

4But as God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in distresses,

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

6by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love,

7by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,

8through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors, and yet true;

9as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed;

10as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
