Since we are co-laboring, we also urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
For He says, “At a favorable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
We give no cause for offense in anything, so that our ministry may not be blamed.
But as God’s servants, we are commending ourselves in every way—in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleeplessness, in hunger;
in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Ruach ha-Kodesh, in genuine love,
in truthful speech, in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
through honor and dishonor, through evil report and good report. We are regarded as deceivers and yet true;
as unknown and yet well-known; as dying, yet behold, we live; as disciplined yet not put to death;
as grieving yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing yet possessing everything.
