1 Corinthians 4:9-13

⁹For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.

¹⁰We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.

¹¹To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

¹²We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

¹³when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
