2Corinthians:6:3-13
mnt@2Corinthians:6:3 @ I am giving no one a cause of stumbling in order that my ministry may not be discredited;
mnt@2Corinthians:6:4 @ but in every way I am striving to commend myself as Gods minister by stedfast endurance, by afflictions, by troubles, by distresses,
mnt@2Corinthians:6:5 @ by floggings, by imprisonment; in riots, in labors, in sleepless watching, in hunger and thirst;
mnt@2Corinthians:6:6 @ with purity, understanding, patience, and kindness; by the Holy Spirit, by love sincere,
mnt@2Corinthians:6:7 @ by a true teaching and an energy divine; by the weapons of righteousness, for attack or for defense,
mnt@2Corinthians:6:8 @ amid honor or dishonor, amid evil report and good report; as a deceiver and yet true;
mnt@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown and yet well known; as at deaths door, yet, strange to tell, I live on; as chastened, but not killed;
mnt@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as grieved, but always glad; as poor, but making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
mnt@2Corinthians:6:11 @ O Corinthians, I am unsealing my lips to you; my heart is wide open to you.
mnt@2Corinthians:6:12 @ There is no narrowness in my love; but the narrowness is in your own.
mnt@2Corinthians:6:13 @ I pray you, therefore, in fair exchange (I speak as to my children), let your hearts also be wide open to me.
