1 Corinthians 4:11-15

11To this present hour we are both 1hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; 12and we toil, 2working with our own hands; when we are 3reviled, we bless; when we are 4persecuted, we endure; 13when we are slandered, we try to 5conciliate; we have 6become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

14I do not write these things to 7shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved 8children. 15For if you were to have countless 9tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in 10Christ Jesus I 11became your father through the 12gospel.
