6 In a clean heart, in knowledge, in long waiting, in being kind, in the Holy Spirit, in true love,
7 In the true word, in the power of God; with the arms of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By glory and by shame, by an evil name and a good name; as untrue, and still true;
9 Unnoted, but still kept fully in mind; as near to death, but still living; as undergoing punishment, but not put to death;
10 As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.
