1 Corinthians 4:9-13 ▼

9 for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

10 we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;

11 unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,

12 and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;

13 being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.
