1 Corinthians 4:9-13
1599 Geneva Bible
9 For I think that God hath set forth us the last Apostles, as men appointed to death, for we are made a [a]gassing stock unto the world, and to the Angels, and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong: ye are honorable, and we are despised.
11 Unto this hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place,
12 (A)And labor, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and yet we bless: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
13 (B)We are evil spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the [b]filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, unto this time.
