4. But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
6. By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,
7. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8. By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9. As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10. As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11. O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.
12. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13. Now for a recompense in the same (I speak as to my children,) be ye also enlarged.
14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
