1 Corinthians 4:9-13 ▼

9 For I think God has placed us, the apostles, last as if we were condemned to death: for we have become a spectacle 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 praised, but we are despised.

11 Even to this very hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked and mistreated and have no permanent home;

12 And labor, working with our own hands: being cursed we bless, being persecuted, we endure it;

13 Being reviled, we intreat;: we are looked upon as the refuse of the world, and we are the revilement of every man to this day.
