1 Corinthians 4:9-13 ▼

9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles the last, as exposed to death: that we may become a theater to the world, and to angels, and to men.

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonorable.

11 until this hour we both hunger and thirst, and suffer for insufficient clothing, and are buffeted; and we tramp,

12 and we toil working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;

13 being scandalized, we entreat: we have become as the offscourings of the world, the refuse of all things until now.
