The Conduct of God's Ministers

2 Corinthians 6:3-10

We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended.

But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours,

By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained,

By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left,

By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true:

As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed:

As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.
