The Conduct of God's Ministers

2 Corinthians 6:3-10

The Conduct of God's Ministers

3
We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.
4
But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5
In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,
6
By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,
7
By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,
8
By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:
9
As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:
10
As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.
