5 in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;

6 in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;

in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;

8 through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;

9 as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed;
