New King James Version
3 (A)We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed. 4 But in all things we commend ourselves (B)as ministers of God: in much [a]patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 (C)in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by [b]sincere love, 7 (D)by the word of truth, by (E)the power of God, by (F)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 (G)yet well known; (H)as dying, and behold we live; (I)as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many (J)rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
