2 Corinthians 6:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ as we are praised and dishonored, as we are slandered and honored, and as we use what is right to attack what is wrong and to defend the truth.^[a] We are treated as dishonest although we are honest, ⁹ as unknown although we are well-known, as dying although, as you see, we go on living. We are punished, but we are not killed. ¹⁰ People think we are sad although we’re always glad, that we’re beggars although we make many people spiritually rich, that we have nothing although we possess everything.
