For, I think that God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men (A)condemned to death, because we (B)have become a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 We are (C)fools for the sake of Christ, but (D)you are prudent in Christ! (E)We are weak, but you are strong! You are glorious, but we are without honor! 11 To this present hour we (F)hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and roughly treated, and homeless; 12 and we labor, (G)working with our own hands; when we are (H)reviled, we bless; when we are (I)persecuted, we endure; 13 when we are slandered, we try to plead; we have (J)become as the scum of the world, the grime of all things, even until now.

For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, [a]both to angels and men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor. 11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place; 12 and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the [b]filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
