"We put no stumbling block in anyone's path,
so that our ministry will not be discredited.
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way:
in great endurance;
in troubles, hardships, and distresses;
in beatings, imprisonments, and riots;
in hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger;
in purity, understanding, patience, and kindness;
in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love,
in truthful speech and in the power of God;
with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
through glory and dishonour,
bad report and good report;
genuine, yet regarded as impostures,
known, yet regarded as unknown;
dying, and yet we live on;
beaten, and yet not killed;
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
poor, yet making many rich;
having nothing,
and yet possessing everything."
2 Co 6.3-10
