1 Corinthians 4:8-13

8You are 1already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you! 9For I think, God has exhibited us, the apostles, last of all as men 2condemned to death, because we 3have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to mankind. 10We are 4fools on account of Christ, but 5you are prudent in Christ! 6We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are without honor! 11Up to this present hour we are both 7hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless; 12and we labor, 8working with our own hands; when we are 9verbally abused, we bless; when we are 10persecuted, we endure it; 13when we are slandered, we 11reply as friends; we have 12become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
