Rather as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way:
In great endurance;
In troubles, hardships, and distresses;
In beatings, imprisonments and riots;
In hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
In in purity, understanding, patience and kindness;
In the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
In truthful speech and in the power of God;
With weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
Through glory and dishonor, good report and bad report;
Genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
Known, yet regarded as unknown;
Dying, yet we live on;
Beaten and yet not killed;
Sorrowful, yet always rejoycing;
Poor, yet making many rich;
Having nothing and yet possessing everything.
~ 2 Corinthians 6:4-10
