8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and look, we live; as punished, but not killed;
10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; and as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11 O Corinthians, we have spoken frankly to you; our heart is opened wide.
12 You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections.
13 In return (I speak as to my children) you also be open.
