1 Corinthians 4:10-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ We are ^(A)fools for Christ’s sake, but ^(B)you are prudent in Christ; ^(C)we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor. ¹¹ To this present hour we are both ^(D)hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless; ¹² and we toil, ^(E)working with our own hands; when we are ^(F)reviled, we bless; when we are ^(G)persecuted, we endure; ¹³ when we are slandered, we try to ^[a]conciliate; we have ^(H)become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

¹⁴ I do not write these things to ^(I)shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved ^(J)children.
