2 Corinthians 6:3-13 - The Character Of Paul's Ministry

³ Giving, no single, occasion of stumbling, in anything, that the ministry be not blamed; ⁴ But, in everything, commending ourselves as God's ministers, - in much endurance, in tribulations, in necessities, in straits, ⁵ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toilings, in watchings, in fastings, ⁶ in sanctity, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in graciousness, in Holy Spirit, ⁷ in love unfeigned, in discourse of truth, in power of God; through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and left, ⁸ through glory and dishonour, through bad report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true, ⁹ as unknown, and yet well-known, as dying, and lo! we live, as disciplined, and yet not put to death, ¹⁰ as grieving, yet, ever, rejoicing, as destitute, yet making, many, rich, as holding, nothing, and yet firmly holding, all things.

¹¹ Our mouth, is opened unto you, O Corinthians! our heart, hath become enlarged: ¹² Ye are not straitened in us, but are straitened in your hearts' affections; ¹³ Howbeit, by way of the like recompense - as, unto children, I speak, be enlarged, even, ye.
