3 (A)giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, 4 but in everything (B)commending ourselves as (C)ministers of God, (D)in much perseverance, in afflictions, in distresses, in hardships, 5 in (E)beatings, in imprisonments, in (F)disturbances, in labors, in sleeplessness, in (G)hunger, 6 in purity, in (H)knowledge, in (I)patience, in kindness, in the (J)Holy Spirit, in (K)unhypocritical love, 7 in (L)the word of truth, in (M)the power of God; by (N)the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8 by glory and (O)dishonor, by (P)evil report and good report; regarded as (Q)deceivers and yet (R)true; 9 as unknown and yet well-known, as (S)dying and yet behold, (T)we live; as [a]punished and yet not put to death, 10 as (U)sorrowful but always (V)rejoicing, as (W)poor but making many rich, as (X)having nothing and yet possessing (Y)all things.

2 Corinthians 6:3-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Character of Paul’s Ministry
3 We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed. 4 But as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything:
by great endurance, by afflictions,
by hardship, by difficulties,
5 by beatings, by imprisonments,(A)
by riots, by labors,
by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,
6 by purity,(B) by knowledge,(C)
by patience,(D) by kindness,(E)
by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,(F)
7 by the message of truth,(G)
by the power of God;(H)
through weapons of righteousness
on the right hand and the left,
8 through glory(I) and dishonor,
through slander and good report;
as deceivers yet true;
9 as unknown yet recognized;
as dying and look—we live;
as being disciplined yet not killed;
10 as grieving yet always rejoicing;(J)
as poor yet enriching many;
as having nothing yet possessing everything.
