^(e)giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

but in everything ^(f)commending ourselves as ^[a](g)servants of God, ^(h)in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

in ⁽ⁱ⁾beatings, in imprisonments, in ^(j)tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in ^(k)hunger,

in purity, in ^(l)knowledge, in ^(m)patience, in kindness, in the ⁽ⁿ⁾Holy Spirit, in ^(o)genuine love,

in ^(p)the word of truth, in ^(q)the power of God; by ^(r)the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

by glory and ^(s)dishonor, by ^(t)evil report and good report; regarded as ^(u)deceivers and yet ^(v)true;

as unknown ^[b]yet well-known, as ^(w)dying ^[c]yet behold, ^(x)we live; as ^[d]punished ^[e]yet not put to death,

as ^(y)sorrowful yet always ^(z)rejoicing, as ^(aa)poor yet making many rich, as ^(ab)having nothing ^[f]yet possessing ^(ac)all things.
