- We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
- (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
- Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
- But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
- In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
|
- By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
- By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
- By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
- As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
- As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
|
- O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
- Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
- Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
