On the contrary, they “recommend [themselves] as God’s ministers... through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report; as [according to opponents] deceivers and yet [in reality] truthful. ” ​ — 2 Corinthians 6: 4, 8.
Sebaliknya, mereka ” merekomendasikan diri [sendiri] sebagai pelayan Allah... melalui kemuliaan dan kehinaan, melalui laporan buruk dan laporan baik; seperti penipu [menurut para penentang] namun [dalam kenyataannya] selalu mengatakan apa yang benar ”. ​ — 2 Korintus 6: 4, 8.
