An ideal minister of God should be prepared to take up the cross and deny everything, just as Paul suffered so much in his ministry. However, nowadays many servants are afraid to experience suffering, the problem is they do not want to suffer, are afraid, worry, that is what causes Christ's servants or God's servants not to preach the gospel. So with that, the author is motivated to examine 2 Corinthians 6: 4-10, which describes Paul's suffering to answer the problem of God's servant that is happening in the field. In this study, the authors used a qualitative and descriptive-Bibliological approach. To get data related to the problem of servants of God who are afraid to experience suffering in their ministry. The author also uses literature study to obtain information about the evangelism carried out by the apostle Paul, but the researcher first examines 2 Corinthians 6: 4-10. The results of the interpretation of 2 Corinthians 6: 4-10 are: a servant who is able to show himself as a servant who is ready to suffer, as a good servant must have perseverance in facing suffering, as a servant who is able to endure and continue to serve in the midst of the suffering that occurs in his life.
