We are treateas impostors, and yet are true; 9as unknown, and yet are well known; as dyingand see we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; 10as sorrowful, yealways rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yepossessing everything.11We have spoken frankly to you Corinthians; our heart is wide open to you12There is no restriction in our affections, but only in yours. 13In return speak as to children open wide your hearts also.
