3 We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault
may be found with our ministry, 4 but as servants of God
we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in
afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5 beatings,
imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy
Spirit, genuine love; 7 by truthful speech, and the
power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand
and for the left; 8 through honor and dishonor, through
slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are
true;9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and
behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; 10 as
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as
having nothing, yet possessing everything. 11 We have
spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open.
12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted
in your own affections. 13 In return (I speak as to
children) widen your hearts also.
