4 Bet visame kame pasirodome Dievo tarnai: su didele kantrybe, skausmuose, sunkumuose, suspaudimuose,

5 plakimuose, įkalinimuose, sąmyšiuose, darbuose, budėjimuose, pasninkuose;

6 tyrumu, pažinimu, pakantumu, gerumu, Šventąja Dvasia, neveidmainiška meile,

7 tiesos žodžiu, Dievo jėga, teisumo ginklais iš dešinės ir kairės;

8 gerbiami ir negerbiami, šmeižiami ir giriami, laikomi apgavikais ir teisiais,

9 nepažįstamais ir gerai žinomais, laikomi mirštančiaisbet štai mes gyvi; esame baudžiami, bet nenužudomi,

10 mus liūdina, bet mes visada džiaugiamės, esame skurdžiai, bet daugelį praturtiname, neturime niekoir valdome viską.

4 but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God: in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings, 6 in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love, 7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by glory and dishonor, 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 punished and not killed, 10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
