2 Corinthians 6:3-13

3giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

4but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

5in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

6in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Ghost, in love unfeigned,

7in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

8by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

9as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

10as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

11Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.

13Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.
