3Giving no stumbling in anything, so that the service may not be criticized.4But in everything commending ourselves as servants of God in much perseverance, in pressures, in necessities, in hardships.5In plagues, in prisons, in disorders, in labors, in sleeplessnesses, in fastings.6In purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the holy Spirit, in genuine love.7In the word of truth, in the power of God, through the weapons of righteousness of the right and of the left.8Through glory and dishonour, through slander and good report, as deceivers and yet true.9As unknown and yet known, as dying and yet we live, as being disciplined and yet not killed.10As grieving yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet holding all things.11Our mouth has opened to you, Corinthians; our heart has been widened.12You are not restricted in us, but you are restricted in your affections.13I speak the same recompense as to children: widen your hearts also.
