⁸ by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and `yet' true;

⁹ as unknown, and `yet' well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and `yet' possessing all things.

⁹ pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;

¹⁰ always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.

⁵ I cried unto thee, O Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.

⁷ With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

³ For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
