4. Rather, we commend ourselves as servants of Elohim in every way: in much endurance, in pressures, in hardships, in distresses,
5. in stripes, in imprisonments, in disturbances, in toils, in watchings, in fastings,
6. in cleanness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Set-apart Spirit, in love unfeigned,
7. in the word of truth, in the power of Elohim, through the weapons of righteousness, on the right and on the left,
8. through esteem and disrespect, through evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers, and yet true;
9. as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying, and see, we live; as disciplined, and yet not killed;
10. as sad, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having none, and yet possessing all.
11. Our mouth has spoken openly to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide open.
12. You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained by your own affections.
