4 but in every thing approving ourselves as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits,
5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

7 by the word of truth, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left,
8 through honour and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, yet true men;
9 as unknown, though well known; as dying, and lo! we live; as chastened, yet not given over to death;
10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
