Therefore we are ambitious, whether present, or absent, to be well-pleasing to him.

Through honour and dishonour, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, yet true, As unknown, yet well-known;

If indeed he that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another Spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Therefore I am well pleased in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
