9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a (A)spectacle [a]to the world, both to angels and to men. 10 We are (B)fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! (C)We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 (D)And we labor, working with our own hands. (E)Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we [b]entreat. (F)We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(A) in the arena. We have been made a spectacle(B) to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ,(C) but you are so wise in Christ!(D) We are weak, but you are strong!(E) You are honored, we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.(F) 12 We work hard with our own hands.(G) When we are cursed, we bless;(H) when we are persecuted,(I) we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(J) of the world—right up to this moment.

4 (A)And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and (B)Silas.
Assault on Jason’s House
5 But the Jews [a]who were not persuaded, [b]becoming (C)envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of (D)Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, (E)“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has [c]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, (F)saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ministering at Berea
10 Then (G)the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas,(A) as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.
5 But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city.(B) They rushed to Jason’s(C) house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged(D) Jason and some other believers(E) before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world(F) have now come here,(G) 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”(H) 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason(I) and the others post bond and let them go.
In Berea
10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas(J) away to Berea.(K) On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.(L)
