2 Corinthians 6:3-13
-
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
-
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
-
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
-
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
-
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
-
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
-
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
-
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
-
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
-
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
-
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
