1 Corinthians 4:9-13 ▼

9 For, I think, God did set forth us the apostles last, as doomed to death; because we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are highly esteemed; but we are without honor.

11 Even until this present hour, we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;

12 and we toil, laboring with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

13 being defamed, we entreat; we were made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, until now.
