1 Corinthians 4:7-9

New Matthew Bible

⁷ For who prefers you? What do you have that was not given to you? If you have received it, why do you glory as though you had not received it? ⁸ Now you are full, now you are made rich; you reign as kings without us. And I would to God you did reign, so that we might reign with you.

⁹ It seems to me that God has set forth us who are apostles as the lowest of all – men appointed to death, as it were. For we are a gazing stock to the world, and to the angels, and to men.
