May we never give offense to anyone, so that our ministry may not be disparaged.
But in all things, let us exhibit ourselves as ministers of God with great patience: through tribulation, difficulties, and distress;
despite wounds, imprisonment, and rebellion; with hard work, vigilance, and fasting;
by chastity, knowledge, and longsuffering; in pleasantness, in the Holy Spirit, and in unfeigned charity;
with the Word of truth, with the power of God, and with the armor of justice to the right and to the left;
through honor and dishonor, despite good reports and bad, whether seen as deceivers or truth-tellers, whether ignored or acknowledged;
