4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities;
5in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger;
6in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as imposters, yet genuine;
— 2 Corinthians 6:4-8
