1 Corinthians 4:11-13 ▼

11 Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;

12 we labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

13 when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the scum of the earth, like everyone’s garbage.
