⁹ Many people do not know us, and yet many people know us very well. We almost die and yet we live. People give us much trouble but they do not kill us. We are very sad and yet always glad.

¹⁰ We are poor, but we make many people rich. We have nothing, but really we have everything.

¹¹ We talk plainly to you people in Corinth. We love you with all our hearts.
