1 Corinthians 4:9-15

9For, I thinkG1380, GodG2316 has exhibitedG584 us apostlesG652 lastG2078 of allG2078, as menG1935 1condemnedG1935 to deathG1935; becauseG3754 we 2have becomeG1096 a spectacleG2302 to the worldG2889, 3bothG2532 to angelsG32 and to menG444. 10We are 4foolsG3474 for Christ’sG5547 sakeG1223, but 5you are prudentG5429 in ChristG5547; 6we are weakG772, but you are strongG2478; you are distinguishedG1741, but we are withoutG820 honorG820. 11To thisG3588 presentG737 hourG5610 we are bothG2532 7hungryG3983 and thirstyG1372, and are poorlyG1130 clothedG1130, and are roughlyG2852 treatedG2852, and are homelessG790; 12and we toilG2872, 8workingG2038 with our ownG2398 handsG5495; when we are 9reviledG3058, we blessG2127; when we are 10persecutedG1377, we endureG430; 13when we are slanderedG1426, we try to 11conciliateG3870; we have 12becomeG1096 as the scumG4027 of the worldG2889, the dregsG4067 of allG3956 thingsG3956, even untilG2193 nowG737.

14I do not writeG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to 13shameG1788 you, but to admonishG3560 you as my belovedG27 14childrenG5043. 15For ifG1437 you were to haveG2192 countlessG3463 15tutorsG3807 in ChristG5547, yetG235 you would not have manyG4183 fathersG3962, for in 16ChristG5547 JesusG2424 I 17becameG1080 your fatherG1080 throughG1223 the 18gospelG2098.
