“By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;”
Through glory and dishonor, good report and bad report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors — the pairs of opposites continue: doxa/atimia, phēmē/dysphēmia. Paul experiences contradictory evaluations simultaneously: he is genuine (alēthinos) yet slandered (planoi, deceivers). External judgment is inverted; reality transcends perception.
