5. beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
6. by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love;
7. by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
8. through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;
9. as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;
10. as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
11. We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open.
