By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 'Through glory and dishonour'-namely, from those in authority-accruing to us present; 'through evil report and good report,' from the multitude, affecting us absent. By means of [as dia (G1223) means in 2 Corinthians 6:7] 'glory' and "dishonour," through which we pass, we 'approve ourselves as the ministers of God' (2 Corinthians 6:4). It is a varied and often rough road through which we pass, but it leads us to victory. Regarded "AS deceivers" by those who, not knowing (2 Corinthians 6:9), dishonour and give us an evil report; AS "true," by those who 'know' (2 Corinthians 6:9) us in the real 'glory' of our ministry. In proportion as the minister has more or less of glory and good report, in that degree has he more or less of dishonour and evil report.
