As servants we commend ourselves in every way:
In great endurance;
In troubles, hardships, and distresses;
In beatings, imprisonments, and riots;
In hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger;
In enduring purity;
In understanding, patience, and kindness;
In Spirit, sincere love, and truthful speech;
In wisdom, maturity, and knowledge;
With weapons of righteousness in our right hand,
And in our left;
Through glory and dishonor,
Bad report and good report;
We are:
Genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
Known, yet regarded as unknown;
Dying, and yet we live on;
Beaten, and yet not killed;
Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
Poor, yet making many rich;
Having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
We serve and sacrifice;
Forcefully advancing the kingdom;
Where we have been given the gift of entry.
