Marks of the Ministry
1 We then, as aworkers together with Him also bplead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
2 For He says:
a“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
a“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
3 aWe give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.
4 But in all things we commend ourselves aas ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,
5 ain stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;
6 by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by1 sincere love,
7 aby the word of truth, by bthe power of God, by cthe armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
9 as unknown, and ayet well known; bas dying, and behold we live; cas chastened, and yet not killed;
10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many arich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Be Holy
11 O Corinthians!1 We have spoken openly to you, aour heart is wide open.
12 You are not restricted by us, but ayou are restricted by your own affections.
