2 Corinthians 6:9

SufferingHope

7 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;

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

10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians. Our hearts are open wide.
