2 Corinthians 6:3-11

Lamsa(i) 3 Give no occasion for offence to any one in anything, so that there be no blemish in our ministry: 4 But in all things let us show ourselves, to be the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in imprisonment, 5 In scourgings, in bonds, in tumults, in toilings, in vigils, in fastings; 6 By purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, 7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 By honour and dishonour, by praise and reproach, as deceivers, and yet true; 9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not dying; 10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 11 O Corinthians, we have told you everything, and our heart is relieved.
