4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
4 反而在各样的事上, 表明自己是 神的仆人, 就如持久的忍耐、患难、贫乏、困苦、
5 鞭打、监禁、扰乱、劳苦、不睡觉、禁食、
6 纯洁、知识、容忍、恩慈、圣灵、无伪的爱心、
7 真理的道、 神的大能等事上; 并且是借着左右两手中公义的武器,
8 借着荣耀和羞辱、坏名声和好名誉。我们好像是骗人的, 却是真诚的,
9 好像是人所不知的, 却是人所共知的; 好像是必死的, 你看, 我们却是活着的; 好像是受惩罚的, 却没有处死;
10 好像忧愁, 却是常常喜乐的; 好像贫穷, 却使很多人富足; 好像是什么都没有, 却是样样都有。
