"as if dying and yet truly alive; as if chastised and yet not subdued; "
— 2 Corinthians 6:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;”
“as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; ”
“as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;”
“as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet– see!– we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed;”
“As dying and behold we live: as chastised and not killed:”
“Unnoted, but still kept fully in mind; as near to death, but still living; as undergoing punishment, but not put to death;”
“As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;”
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;
as if dying and yet truly alive; as if chastised and yet not subdued;
as if sorrowful and yet always rejoicing; as if needy and yet enriching many; as if having nothing and possessing everything.
Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians; our heart is enlarged.
You are not narrowed by us, but it is by your own inner selves that you are narrowed.
