1 ^aWorking together with him, then, ^bwe appeal to you ^cnot to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,

^d“In a favorable time I listened to you,
and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, ^enow is the ^ffavorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 3 We ^gput no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, 4 but ^has servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: ⁱby great endurance, ^jin afflictions, ^khardships, calamities, 5 ^lbeatings, imprisonments, ^mriots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6 ⁿby purity, ^oknowledge, patience, kindness, ^pthe Holy Spirit, ^qgenuine love; 7 by ^rtruthful speech, and ^sthe power of God; with ^tthe weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8 through honor and dishonor, ^uthrough slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9 as unknown, and ^vyet well known; ^was dying, and behold, we live; ^xas punished, and yet not killed; 10 ^yas sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; ^zas poor, yet making many rich; ^aaas having nothing, ^abyet possessing everything.
