³ Not giving in anything a cause for michshol, lest the Messianic Avodas Kodesh (holy worship, service) be blamed;

⁴ But in everything presenting ourselves [2C 4:2] as mesharetim of Hashem in much savlanut (patience), in tzoros, in hardships, in distresses,

⁵ In beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in tzomot;

⁶ In purity, in da’as, in longsuffering, in chesed, in the Ruach Hakodesh, in ahavah amittit,

⁷ In the dvar HaEmes, in the gevurat Hashem, through the weapons of Tzedek of the right hand and of the left.

⁸ Through honor and dishonor, through ill repute and good repute; as "deceivers" and yet true,

⁹ As being unknown and yet being well known, as dying and hinei, we live! As given the mishpat mavet and yet not penalized with death;

¹⁰ As having agmat nefesh but always having simcha, as poor but enriching many, as having nothing and yet possessing everything.
