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

³ Let us give no man occasion of evil, that in our office be found no fault: ⁴ but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish, ⁵ in stripes, in prisonment, in strife, in labour, in watching, in fasting, ⁶ in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the holy ghost, in love unfeigned, ⁷ in the words of truth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousness of the right hand and on the left hand, ⁸ in honour and dishonour, in evil report and good report, as deceivers and yet true, ⁹ as unknown, and yet known, as dying - and behold we yet live - as chastened and not killed, ¹⁰ as sorrowing and yet always merry, as poor and yet make many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

¹¹ O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you. Our heart is made large: ¹² ye are in no strait in us, but are in a strait in your own hearts. ¹³ I promise you like reward with me, as to my children.
