2 Corinthians 6:3-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
... In The Process Giving Them No Opportunity For Stumbling...
3 ... in[a] nothing giving any opportunity-for-stumbling, in order that the ministry may not be faulted,
... But Commending Ourselves While Enduring The Bad And Persevering In The Good
4 ... but in everything, as God’s servants, commending ourselves in great endurance— in afflictions, in constraints, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in prisons, in disturbances, in labors, in watchings[b], in fastings; 6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in a holy[c] spirit, in sincere love, 7 in the word[d] of truth, in the power of God; through[e] the weapons of [f] righteousness for the right hand and[g] the left; 8 through[h] glory and dishonor, through evil-report[i] and good-report; as deceivers and true ones, 9 as being not-known and being fully-known; as dying and behold we live, as being disciplined and not being put-to-death, 10 as being grieved but always rejoicing; as poor but enriching many, as having nothing and holding-on-to all things.
