We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.
but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,
We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food.
beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love;

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;
Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.

Oh, dear Corinthian friends! We have spoken honestly with you, and our hearts are open to you.
There is no lack of love on our part, but you have withheld your love from us.
You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.
I am asking you to respond as if you were my own children. Open your hearts to us!
In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.

and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
