We put no obstacle in any one's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, |
4

5
|
beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, watching, hunger; |
6
|
by purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, |
7
|
truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; |
8
|
in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; |
9
|
as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed; |

|

17
|
Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, |
18
|
and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." |
