2 Corinthians 6:3-13 - The Character Of Paul's Ministry
3 giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, in order that the ministry may not be blamed; 4 but in everything commending ourselves, as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in straits, in difficulties, 5 in stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labors, in vigils, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7 by the word of truth, by the power of God; through the arms of righteousness right and left, 8 through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and true; 9 as being unknown, and perfectly known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10 as sorrowing, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
11 Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged. 12 Be not straitened in reference to us, but be straitened in your own affections. 13 But as I speak to children, you indeed receive this reward.
