fight the good fight

"...in great endurance; in troubles, hardships & distresses; in beatings, imprisonments & riots; in hard work, sleepless nights & hunger; in purity, understanding, patience & kindness; in the Holy Spirit & in sincere love; in truthful speech & in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand & in the left; through glory & dishonor, bad report & good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, & yet we live on; beaten, & yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, & yet possessing everything." ~2corinthians6:4a-10
