We implore you on Christ's behalf be reconciled to God. For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him. We then as workers together with him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says in an acceptable time I heard you and in the day of salvation I've helped you.
Behold now is the accepted time. Behold now is the day of salvation. We give no offense in anything that our ministry may not be blamed but in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God in much patience and tribulations and needs and distresses in stripes and imprisonments and tumults and labors and sleeplessness and fastings by purity by knowledge by longsuffering by kindness by the Holy Spirit by sincere love by the word of truth by the power of God by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left by honor and dishonor by evil report and good report as deceivers and yet true as unknown and yet well known as dying and behold we live as chastened and yet not killed as sorrowful yet always rejoicing as poor yet making many rich as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
