2 Corinthians 6:6 “By”

2 Corinthians 6:6-7 (KJV) By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

How does the Apostle Paul made full proof of the ministry that Christ has entrusted to him? He shared in 2 Corinthians 6:3-5 (KJV) Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

And he also showed “by” what means, it was accomplished – by pureness – a holy life, by knowledge – a prudent life, by longsuffering – forbearance of others, by kindness – having compassion making a difference, by the Holy Ghost – the secret of power, by love unfeigned – the Spirit’s gift, by the word of truth – sincerely upholding God’s Word, by the power of God – truly anointed life, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left – God’s protection through righteous living.

Enduring many hardships as a good soldier of Christ, he sets for us an example. Amen.
