In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.

2 Corinthians 6:7
In the true word, in the power of God; with the arms of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2 Corinthians 6:8
By glory and by shame, by an evil name and a good name; as untrue, and still true;
