哥林多后书6:3-10
3我们凡事都不叫人有妨碍，免得这职分被人毁谤。4反倒在各样的事上，表明自己是神的用人，就如在许多的忍耐，患难，穷乏，困苦，5鞭打，监禁，扰乱，勤劳，儆醒，不食，6廉洁，知识，恒忍，恩慈，圣灵的感化，无伪的爱心，7真实的道理，神的大能，仁义的兵器在左在右，8荣耀羞辱，恶名美名。（我们）似乎是诱惑人的，却是诚实的。9似乎不为人所知，却是人所共知的。似乎要死却是活着的。似乎受责罚，却是不至丧命的。10似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的。似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的。似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的。
3We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry. 4In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. 5We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. 6We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us,#6:6 Or by our holiness of spirit. and by our sincere love. 7We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense. 8We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors. 9We are ignored, even though we are well known. We live close to death, but we are still alive. We have been beaten, but we have not been killed. 10Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.
