6:4 反倒在各样的事上，表明自己是神的用人，就如在许多的忍耐，患难，穷乏，困苦，
6:5 鞭打，监禁，扰乱，勤劳，儆醒，不食，
6:6 廉洁，知识，恒忍，恩慈，圣灵的感化，无伪的爱心，
6:7 真实的道理，神的大能。仁义的兵器在左在右。
6:8 荣耀羞辱，恶名美名。似乎是诱惑人的，却是诚实的。
6:9 似乎不为人所知，却是人所共知的。似乎要死却是活着的。似乎受责罚，却是不至丧命的。
6:10 似乎忧愁，却是常常快乐的。似乎贫穷，却是叫许多人富足的。似乎一无所有，却是样样都有的。
6:11 哥林多人哪，我们向你们，口是张开的，心是宽宏的。
6:12 你们狭窄，原不在乎我们，是在乎自己的心肠狭窄。
6:13 你们也要用宽宏的心报答我。我这话升像对自己的孩子说的。
4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
5in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
6in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
9known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
12We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.
13As a fair exchange–I speak as to my children–open wide your hearts also.
