7. with the Word of truth, with the power of God, and with the armor of justice to the right and to the left;
8. through honor and dishonor, despite good reports and bad, whether seen as deceivers or truth-tellers, whether ignored or acknowledged;
9. as if dying and yet truly alive; as if chastised and yet not subdued;
10. as if sorrowful and yet always rejoicing; as if needy and yet enriching many; as if having nothing and possessing everything.
11. Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians; our heart is enlarged.
