Giving, no single, occasion of stumbling, in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;

But, in everything, commending ourselves as God's ministers, - in much endurance, in tribulations, in necessities, in straits,

in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in toilings, in watchings, in fastings,

in sanctity, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in graciousness, in Holy Spirit,

in love unfeigned, in discourse of truth, in power of God; through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and left,

through glory and dishonour, through bad report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true,

as unknown, and yet well-known, as dying, and lo! we live, as disciplined, and yet not put to death,

as grieving, yet, ever, rejoicing, as destitute, yet making, many, rich, as holding, nothing, and yet firmly holding, all things.
